You said you would not help your friend get a stray cat an abortion, because all life is sacred, correct? But you are ok eating meat, and killing parasites, etc. So what kind of life, specifically, IS sacred? I would have guessed human only, but your cat story confuses me, because you implied animal life is also sacred (you said ALL), but you yourself then have many exceptions to this rule of ALL life.
So could you clarify for me when life is ok to take? Is it when an animal isn't cute? Or when it tastes good?
I'm not trying to be a bitch, just trying to understand the inconsistency there.
All life is sacred, of course. And yes, I believe that killing an animal for food is justifiable, but killing them because you don't want to take care of them is not.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
