"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."

It is hypothetical, but not moot.
Your digestive habits were not the point of the question.

In your previous post, you equated the killing of animals with abortion:

"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."

My question sought to discover if your application of that principle was consistently absolute, situational or conditional.

What you appear to be saying (judging by what you've posted so far) is that killing animals for food is wrong (tantamount to abortion/murder) when people do it, but perfectly OK if animals do it.

I’m talking about the slaughter industry! I am not a hunter that kills one animal to feed my family for 6 months. I live in a city with grocery stores. A wolf killing a chicken is hardly the same as the slaughter of millions of animals for little Fat assed Tommy and Susies hamburgers. Even so, why would I have an issue with a wolf killing a chicken. Should I protest a great white shark killing a sea lion? You’re being intentionally obtuse - further, why are you threatened if I choose to not eat a dead animal? I wouldn’t eat my dog or my cat either

I've found that to be pretty much universally true amongst the tofu croud. Only humans are evil. If a man does the same thing a wolf does, the wolf is pure, but the man is evil.
