65. I Can Not Argue Against Not Causing Pain For Animals, But I Can't Forgo Human Primacy
And so while I certainly agree that it is better not to cause pain in animals than to cause pain or to the notion that to treat animals as no more than a raw resource is inhumane at the same time I put us above them.

So I eat meat, something that as an omnivore (really, just look at my teeth, you'll see its what I was made for) it as natural to me as breathing, and when an animal is killed in my name or I do it myself (I sometimes raise livestock, fish and hunt) I make it fast and as painless as possible. PETA would not accept that as I understand it.
