I didn ' t overlook it . I said it right there in my comment . To me , the argument that we shouldn ' t hurt animals is completely flimsy unless we are able to stop all animal suffering , even those in the wild . Turning a blind eye or letting something happen is just as bad as performing the bad thing ourselves right ? So what do we do about all the animals killing other animals ? Again , to me , this is all about humans living so far detached from the real world that we forget that it IS part of life . Its great that we attempt to do it in a humane way , but trying to ban it , outlaw it , or morally guilt trip people out of it wont happen until we , has a whole , advance and evolve way further than the stage we are at now . And unless you can convince the rulers of this world to give out free vegetarian food , there are millions of humans on this planet who still need to kill animals to survive .
