design your immune system to be one of tiny organisms that kill other tiny organisms in order to keep their ecosystem alive?

The same god that would design plants to absorb living matter from soil and thrive off of it?

It is the ying and yang. It is the harmony of our universe that causes the circle of life. You cannot have life without death nor vice versa as that is how we have been created.

This harmony is just. And I'm telling you this as a vegan. lol

You asked what "god" would allow animals to eat other animals alive.

I gave an answer that had everything to do with that question so, unless your real point had nothing to do with that question then I missed nothing.

Why don't you answer your own question for me, and show me what the point was?

climb out of your box and mock me some more. All I asked for is further elaboration, sorry that's too hard. lol

Sorry nature doesn't contort to your optimistic imagination? I guess?

The best mercy we could give animals is to abolish all meat production. But... that's sadly not going to happen.

a bit of egg or cheese may (rarely) slip by me... I will not offend someone that has put effort into making me a meal

my daughter and I have been experimenting making nut cheeses and coconut yogurts and such
...and exploring vegan restaurants of late... want to open one in Vermont

humans added another 1,000 net humans, hungry humans. Make that 1,500. I'm a slow typist and I need to add this sentence. Crap! now it's 1,550.

1 billion net added every 12 - 13 years. We're sowing the seeds of our own destruction, by not addressing a much bigger threat to us, us.
