Kat, I understand the difficulty with the killing of animals... but, if it helps, consider it a matter of the food chain.

Modern society has more or less created an entire new food chain on top of the old one... we create entire crops and species of animals strictly for consumption. Right or wrong is not something I want to get into on this, but it's still there.

What is described above is a society still living within the old food chain... once again, not to debate over rightness and wrongness, but it's also there.
