    I think animals were put here for us to use. Meat from animals suitable for eating (which is almost all of them), fur and leather from their hides, and any other uses we can find, from fish scales in makeup to teeth in jewelry. That said, trophy hunting is just stupid. You want those tusks? Eat up big boy, that's a lot of elephant you've gotta chow down.

    For better or worse we are the only beings here that can make decisions on whether, why or when to kill.

    Until we start running out of a given animal I'm not too concerned with who kills it and why.

    Moreover, when we DON'T allow hunting we often get too many of one kind of animal or another leading to disease and attacks on humans.

    For one thing, we are animals, stop assuming we are above them in some way. Why would it be wrong for us to eat animals? Most animals eat eachother, its how they dont die of hunger.

    Some animals are vegetarian, some are carnivores, and some are omnivores. We are omnivores. The proof is in our teeth. For optimum health, I believe we should eat 70-80 % vegetarian and 20-30 % meat and dairy. Many Native Americans ate crops while they were available and ate meat when there were no crops. Animals are sacred and they understood that. Never should an animal be killed for its fur unless you are stranded in the wilderness and need it for warmth to survive.

    Completely wrong! We should use our increased intelligence for the better, and not kill as animals do as they do not have a conscience or the intelligence to have a choice in what they do. We can choose not to kill, but selfishness prevents the ethical choice.

    I think it's somewhat wrong, but then again we raise them ourselves. I am in between.

    Neither of those choices.

    I do not find it wrong in the least to kill animals, regardless of purpose. Nor do I believe animals were put here at all, much less is it a divine right of ours to eat them.

    Humane treatment and preservation of endangered species are different subjects, but I gladly am sitting in front of my computer eating animal products at this very minute.

    You must have missed CARNIVORE week.
