It seems you are determined to find fault with anything I say. I'm not asking
for a pat on the back, I do what I do out of a personal sense of ethics.
I have admitted that it is contradictory in a way, but I happen to believe it is not wrong for humans to kill animals for food.
Is it because I want to soothe my conscience because I am too weak to go vegetarian or vegan altogether? Quite possibly.
I just feel that, as a responsible consumer, I do not have to deny myself the pleasure of a varied diet.
That doesn't change the fact that I feel we do not have the right to abuse and kill animals for profit, sport, entertainment or because they bother us in and around the house.
