Have you ever stepped on an ant? Gone fishing and used a worm for bait? Hit an animal while driving your car? Swatted a fly? Smash a mosquito? Stepped on some creature and smushed it when you walked in grass?

If you say killing an animal for meat is murder than all that i just desribed is wrong and murder on the same level.

I do not believe that killing something and causing pain is right...but in a society that puts animals on the same level as humans, I cant consider this murder. Some people say it is murder because the animal can not give consent. Well then abortion is murder as well because the human life in the womb cant give consent either.
