> Survivor guilt...top of the food chain has it's responsibilities to all below us, ya know.
--Both what you say here and what Emily said in her response reflect that you think nature and animals somehow share the human morals and ethics.
Do birds of prey and great white sharks think about their responsibilities as the top of the foodchain?
In human culture the selections of individual human beings doesn't do much. The change would have to be guided from the top.
I personally wouldn't solely rely on vegetarian food. I don't mind if others do, if they don't mind my choice. Many vegatarians say they do, but they're underlying disrespect is often almost tangible.
