Sheldon, was I arguing in favor of eating meat or against it?
To explain my argument a little further we ask the vegan if it is okay for a Lion to hunt a Gazelle, if this is true then why can't humans do the same?
To further the argument we could ask if it is okay for a Grizzly bear to hunt as well. Seeing as how they can live their whole lives eating nothing but vegetables but prefer to hunt and eat meat because it is both a fun and tasty thing to do.
Will they morally condemn the behavior of the Grizzly? Or give humans a separate responsibility?
(Bold mine)
Where is this permission ‘expressly’ granted? Chapter and verse, please.
