> Okay you say its not okay to kill another human because its not needed for survival? well I have news for you I don't need to kill animals to survive!! What if I wanted to kill a human for food and eat him would that be okay? I didn't think so.

I went out of my way to show that killing for the sake of killing, be it human or not, is wrong. If you wanted to kill a human for food and eat him, it would be OK. That's exactly my point. However, humans also have a survival instinct. The rest of the pack would lunge for you. You'd be banged up for life (or worse) when they caught you. Survival of the fittest.

> Do you respect a murderer's wishes to murder people? No well I don't respect your wishes to eat meat! Please understand this doesn't mean that I don't respect you but I have to try and convince you to stop murdering animals because I don't feel its right.

No, I don't. I don't want to be murdered. But as I said above, humans look out for each other. The rest of the pack would protect me, or at least avenge my death. And you do NOT have to try and convince me to stop eating meat. Get over yourself. I couldn't care less whether you think it's wrong or not. That's not going to affect _my_ decision to eat meat. You don't eat meat. I'm happy for you. I eat meat. I'm happy for me, too. Just because you don't like something, it doesn't mean I have to follow your wishes. Please, don't take this personally.
