Hi ombodhi and all! Did I really write this? Sandy wrote: > >...we have the intelligence to make the weapons to kill animals so it's > >natural... I don't remember writing that's it's natural to kill. It's possible, obviously, but most of us would have a real, gut aversion to killing another being. So I just want to be clear, I do not think it's natural just because it's possible. Because of our "superior" intelligence we are able to do many things but much of them are not natural by which I mean we have to overcome an instinctual fear to do them eg. fly in an airplane, go to the dentist and so on. Just to be sure there's no confusion, I am passionately opposed to eating animals, it's simply unkind and, I feel sure, unnecessary. Smiles, Sandy
