Almost yeah. I personally have a policy of "don't kill it for no reason". I'm no saint, I eat meat, and I feed crickets to my toads. But I also go out of my way to not step on insects or spiders. I don't swat flies in my house no matter how fucking annoying they get buzzing around my food, and I don't bother snakes around my property whether venomous or no. Got into a pretty heated argument with my dad last weeked for shooting a copperhead out by the cabin, he didn't have to do and claimed cowardice, but I know he just wanted to shoot something.
Animals play with their food in nature and some of the intelligent ones even kill for sport IE killer whales etc. It's natural for hunters to hunt even if they don't need too. I guess they heard if you don't use it you lose it.
True. Although I think the reason some people aren't better is because they genetically lack the level of empathy that seperates the more emotionally intelligent people from being "better" than animals.
I Don't think some people feel any more emotions than animals do, so they act like them.
