Do you agree with Richard Dawkins?

[Anomalocaris]

I have no idea where you drew that conclusion from. Humans are animals, so why shouldn't we eat meat?

As just another animal, we are not special as theists believe; not created in the image of God. So this is no basis for out treatment of other animals. So, if you believe that it is wrong to cause unnecessary pain and suffering, on what basis would you restrict that consideration to just humans? Our consideration around inflicting pain and suffering must surely consider all those beings capable of feeling pain and suffering.

We are not special because god said so. We are special because I am one of us. If I happen to be a chicken, then some garantee of life, liberty and freedom from being eaten of the chicken kind will likely be special to me. But I am not chicken, i am human, so my enjoyment of eating chickens, a result of my biological and sociological evolutionary history, is special to me..
