10. Same as it ever was....

While we may be horrified at what some animals do, they're just delighted to have found a meal, protect their young, their territory.

Humans are the only creatures that can be evil.....killing for "sport". Most of the time, they aren't going to eat what they kill. They just want bragging rights. I have no problem with hunters who are actually eating what they kill.

Does, "God", play a role in any of this? The same god that commanded you kill your first born son, or to stone unfaithful women? I think the Bible was written by men who wanted an excuse for the evil they committed.
