I am not elevating animals to human status or implying that they should have the same rights as humans, but they do have a natural right to keep their lives and to be free from harm—to live without being killed for meat, fur or leather, etc. Carnivores and omnivores kill out of necessity, but it is never necessary for humans to kill for food (except in survival situations) considering we are the only species that knows how to grow crops and that we can't kill for meat without the use of tools or weapons, which reveals what our natural diet really is.   > "Fueled by your hatred of Christianity"    http://libermundus.org/downloads/the-abomination-of-desolation.htm
