Guest guest Posted July 13, 2000 Report Share Posted July 13, 2000 Hi Clark, I identified with all of what you wrote here, and I used to feel very much the same way. Lately though, my stance has been that since we (humans) do not need to kill animals (non-humans) to survive, then why the hell would we??? Killing when you do not have to is un- natural and cruel. Feel free to write me privately. I'd like to explore this issue further.
