How many times will you use the word "uneccessary" as your justification, in fact as your entire assertion, without elaborating upon what it is, what it contains, what it does not, and what it applies to?
My "moral" or guiding principle, with regards to food, is to feed people, mostly because people must eat, not everyone is eating very well, and I am. I want to extend this bit of good fortune to others because I would have it for myself. If my guiding principle were "to get tasty food for myself" it wouldn't be of much use as a guide, or a principle. Nevertheless, I don't wish or hope to establish that anyone else should or must follow my own personal guiding principles. I have a very competent understanding of this subject, and this understanding precludes absolutist positions. People have to eat, I would use whatever tool is most appropriate and most efficient to accomplish this based on whatever scenario those people find themselves in. Livestock is one of those tools.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
