Well here's the thing. I already can legally and do consume quite a few animals.

And my justification ? They taste good.

I mean just look at that. Doesn't that look tasty!!!
Why would I need anymore justification than that!
What have I made up? That there is no requirement for trees to line desert streams, that the sun is hottest in the middle of the day, that the deepest pools are the coolest, or that desert fish have evolved to withstand desert conditions including warm water and some species can even survive when the water completely disappears?
After reading that I think the desert sun might be getting to you Sharky.
I have never indicated that taste is a valid justification for killing any plant or creature; "because they taste good" has been used by you, Niya, FunkyD, and many others in an attempt to falsely justify your consumption of chickens and cows.Quote:

Well a human could provide far more benefit alive than dead. Example, he could help me hunt down cows and we could both eat well without having to turn on each other. There's a reason why altruism and co-operation evolved in certain creatures like humans, it aids in improving the chances of survival in a way that solitary creatures can't. What we call civilization is simply the ultimate expression of our evolved tendency towards co-operation. I'm pretty sure eating the members of your co-op would hinder the chances of survival of all member individuals. How many people practice cannibalism today in comparison with those that don't. Not many, that's evolution at work!
How do you even survive Witis ? Can your body perform photosynthesis ?
Or do you eat only "guilty animals" like snakes ?
LOL "guilty animals".......****'s still funny!
"Guilty animals"......LOL I'll never forget the laughs you've given me Witis......Only a brilliant mind like yours can think up something so original!
Son? That's crazy talk right there. Are you saying you feel no regret, no guilt, and no shame for taking the lives of so many innocent creatures and choosing to continue to do so in the future? Can you work out how many chickens you have eaten in your life so far and how many you will consume by the time you die?
Iguanas taste very good too btw. Tastes better than chicken. Would you eat iguanas Witis ? Technically you could since they are related to "guilty animals"(LOL) like snakes.
The problem is that evolution made humans the chiefs of planet earth and capable of treating all animals as potential sources of food, but it also gave humans enough intelligence to be able to determine which animals, if any, should be killed and used for food. Therefore treating all animals as a food source is going to get you into a lot of trouble Niya, a lot.
Quit it with the son comments. However I'll take those man points, here's a gator that I'm going to cook up for dinner:
