I agree with you! We are animals, yes... but if human-animals ate animals as raw as they come, and without additional tools and instruments to kill them, then the fight would be fair. We are the only animals who cook our food and that is also unnatural. We live in unnatural environments and eat unnatural foods. Our anatomy is similar to that of monkeys and monkeys are fruitarians. So why do people think they have to eat animals? Also animals kill to eat to survive. Do we need to eat animals to survive? No, we do it for enjoyment...

So I guess because a wolf can outrun a dear thanks to its superior endurance, and then tear it to pieces with its much stronger jaws and fangs, it's not a fair fight.

Also, beavers, bees, ants, birds... build structures. So do all animals that live in burrows. I guess they're "unnatural".

"Monkeys" are not vegetarian. Some are. Most aren't, and also eat animals. Some are even documented to engage in cannibalism -- chimpanzees, our closest ape relatives.

And even if it weren't like that, we're different species. Cetaceans are carnivores, even though they're most closely related to hippos, which are herbivores.

Wait a minute, let me put this right: Just because humans are able to kill and eat meat, doesn't mean we have to and it's right to do so. Also we have the ability to reflect (most of humans do 😉). An animal does not kill because of pleasure and for culinary delight, but to survive!!! That is the big difference!!!

I mean humans are able to rape (Men used to be allowed to rape women), White humans were aloud to have slaves etc... does this mean to you, just because we can, it's ok to do so?

Second: We humans definitely don't live in a natural environment anymore...We are able to survive very well without the need to kill and abuse animals.

This is my way of looking at life with compassion and empathy.
