Why do people kill poor harmless animals and eat them?

Hmm, well, I wonder if maybe it’s just an important part of our ancestors’ diet, and because of that, it got deeply embedded in our instincts. But you know, humans have a lot of other instincts that are no longer necessary for our survival -- things like our bodies knowing how to reproduce on their own, without the need for parental involvement, and our instinct for language. Maybe this is also a part of our history that’s worth looking past.
