That's what seperates us from the other little beasties, we, as a species are able to live above our environmental standard. As such, we might not be entitled to all the stuff we get, but we can damn well take it.
I don't agree with killing animals just for certain parts (pelts, tusks, fins) and I don't agree with completely unmanaged collection of resources (shark finning is getting very out of hand, the overuse and destruction of rainforest) but if it's manageable and if animal is used in its entirety (or at least close) I see no reason we can't slaughter, devour and harvest animals.

Good post and I like your stance and I am not opposed to what you say, I am opposed to the commercial mistreatment of animals and the forced use of them for medical experiments to better our species when I feel there is a better alternative that actually benefits our society financially. I know, OMG I am talking about doing those things to murderers but their still human beings and they have rights. No they don't! They gave up being a part of being a valued human being when they did what they did. Any person who does something like rape and murder someone should be fair game because they are NOT a human in my eyes anymore, they are a monster and a burden to society.
