I agree, though I do eat meat I avoid killing anything where possible.

Oh dear, that's high-feckin-larious.

i remember in primary school, one of the kids reconed an earthworm would die if broken into 7 pieces

everytime he saw one, he would start breaking it and counting till he got seven, then walk off laughing


i often thought - how did the first five pieces know when the sixth piece had been split in too??

it's perfectly alright to kill anything that isn't human. we are the superior species and therefore can do what we want. large animals should only be killed for food though. otherwise their numbers would thin out.

That sounds like a quote from Star Trek tbh.:rolleyes:

Natural selection folks. If you're bigger than it, kill it. Lions don't lay restless at night wondering if maybe they shouldn't have killed that zebra. The only problem in our case is conscious thought.
