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.

Would you be ok with the cat abortion if the remains had been used as food? A lot of people in the east eat cat. I personally don't ever want to try it, but it is a thing.
What about killing animals to feed to other animals? For instance, if the aborted fetuses were fed to living cats? Because it would have been for food, that would have been ok, then.
Also...I assume this rule about killing for food does not extend to humans, even though we are technically animals. You mean non-human animals, correct? Just clarifying the cannibalism loop-hole here.
