I was only making the comparison to show the absurdity of using links to the Paleolithic epoch to justify slaughtering the innocent today. I guess I could have chosen any number of behaviours that took place back then which would not be justifiable now. Summary: I was trying to show logical equivalence, not moral equivalence between the two acts.
People practice/d infanticide because they can't/couldn't bear the burden of caring for the infant or the infant has/had some defect. People eat/ate animals as a food source. Very different... Shouldn't be equated.
Kichigai is building strawmen faster than I can take them down at the moment, and I seem to be making him angry, so it's probably best if I take a break for a while. I hope I have at least helped to change the way some people think about the choices they make. I will still answer PMs.
