I'm an omnivore and a violent predator in addition to being intelligent and a tool user.
You wouldn't want a violent predator to make you into food, would you? Let's say Jeffrey Damher was still alive and he wants to chop you into pieces and eat you. If you wouldn't want that done to you, why do that to others? Because they're "just animals"? Well, your dog is "just an animal" yet you probably apply the Golden Rule to your dog, right?
The bottom line is you are choosing to do something that you wouldn't want done to yourself.
That's why mankind has evolved to be one of the most prolific species of animal on the planet.
I already went over this earlier on the thread. Darwinian evolution is one of the biggest lies ever perpetuated on mankind. I believe we were created. We were created to live in PEACE AND HARMONY with all of creation. Read the first chapter of the bible. As well as all the prophetic scriptures (see below.)
Your attempts to make everything into some fantasy Disney show about animals is not very pragmatic. Will you be promoting state funded abortions for the growing population of animals next?
I'm not under the illusion that I can turn this world into a fantasy. I'm well aware that we live in a screwed up, selfish fallen world. But why go along with that when you don't have to? Why contribute to the pain, suffering, violence and killing? You don't have to. It is completely unnecessary.
Also, that "fantasy" of peace and harmony was prophesied in the bible. So if you are a Christian (are you?) and you don't like that, then you really should take that up with God. Because this is GOD's ideal and the future world, when He restores the peaceful, nonviolent world that HE created in the beginning:
The wolf will live with the lamb,the leopard will lie down with the goat,the calf and the lion and the yearling[a] together;and a little child will lead them.The cow will feed with the bear,their young will lie down together,and the lion will eat straw like the ox.The infant will play near the cobra’s den,and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest.They will neither harm nor destroyon all my holy mountain,for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lordas the waters cover the sea.Isaiah 11:6-9
My dog is a useful tool and animal friend but if it came down to a choice of him or me I'm going to bon appetite' on him.

BTW... I don't consider myself a Christian.
