I constantly tried to justify my vegetarianism and later veganism on scientific grounds. But constantly failed.But you clearly are unable to justify your exploitation of animals either, so you have deferred to a default setting of continuing to exploit them. How are you deciding where to place the burden of proof (or justification)? Seemingly childhood indoctrination plays a role. Every time you buy food you actively make a choice: violence or non-violence. It takes some pretty powerful programming to make us actively choose violence.

If you could provide examples of animal rights occurring in the natural world I would be most appreciative.
No childhood indoctrination you silly fornicator, millions of years of evolution is to blame hence I think you are being childishly indoctrinated. Your arguments are weak and this "exploitation" you speak of is at the very heart of evolution.
Violence? don't make me puke! Look around you! This isn't some bloody Disney dream of a planet you live in! Come to Australia and we'll take you "out-Back" where you can be relieved of your childhood fantasies!
Yes my dear you have the "animal right to be slaughtered most inhumanely by predators" no consideration for you thoughts or "well being" will be given to you.
Stop living in the cities and get out amongst it...become a Hunter and just have a GOOD look at what is natural.
