Every once in a while I get that ominous feeling that killing and specially making animals suffer just for me to eat meat, fish and lactose is extremely wrong, but then I kinda forget.
I kinda see myself hunting wild game though so it’s weird.
Sorry, and on a re-read I don’t see the main distinction you make either. I’m not defending hunting defined as the killing of any animal, but as the sustainable and humane (as I define it, which may of course be a sticking point) killing of animals for the maximal use of their products. If you broaden the category of hunting out so far, you could do the same thing with the analogy and say that humans kill humans because of jealousy, self defense, sport, or any other reason. Likewise, it doesn’t matter what Bolshevik killed the Romanovs, or if they did with a noose, bullet or bayonet; and it doesn’t matter which specific royalty there were, only that they are a species of royalty… the only defining matter is that of class: the same way that class defines the hunter and the prey.
