If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
But if animals have got a conscience and have feelings and emotions just like humans, it's barbarous to kill them since if they would be exactly the same except for their appearance it would be like killing a human in lion-clothes or whatever animal.
That's really a specious argument. Looks good but smells funny. Let's take a different tack.
On the other hand, if they don't have any of those, it's still up to us to decide wether it's right or wrong to kill an animal. And then you're back to the human conscience
Who's conscience? Yours? Mine? What gives you or me the right to choose for all of mankind? We're not omnipotent. This is something each person should choose with their own moral compass and with their own desires and requirements. And no one else can adamantly say only they themselves are right.
If I could do such a thing, I would probably be against hunting except for conservation purposes or extreme hunger. But I can't.
Hey Binirit, you are a very interesting conversationalist. I admire your convictions. We'll do it again someday no doubt. I had fun and learned some. Rule long and prosper. Work is screaming at me, and next the claws come out.
