"Normal for you, not for me. Animals are sentient and helpless creatures of God and they have souls. I think they deserve to live their lives just as abortion victims do. I won’t eat them or support wholesale slaughter of animals or children. It is unnecessary."

I'm not going to argue or dispute anything you've said. You are welcome to your opinion.

I am going to ask you a serious question. It's hypothetical, but serious.

Suppose you are armed. Say you have a pistol in your pocket and are carrying it legally concealed.
You come upon an animal in the process of attacking another animal, presumably for food. Say for instance a wolf or fox attacking a chicken.

What do you do?

Let nature be nature. Thy Will Not Mine be Done. I am fortunate to live in a modern world where I can be healthy and survive by eating produce and by not killing or supporting the killing of animals for things I can get from plants.

Its all moot anyway because it's been long enough that even if I tried to eat a rib eye (yum) I'd just get really sick.
