One summer night about 4 a.m., with the windows of our rural home open to the weather, Mrs. Cowperson and I were awakened to some nearby, horrible, agonized screaming (no other way to describe it) . . . . . the death throes of a deer or elk being slowly dismantled by a predator. This went on and on and on . . . . .not nice by far, but a natural event nonetheless.
That's the food chain baby. Humans are predators.

And humans are of greater intelligence and are cognicent that causing pain is wrong. Further, animals have no other means to survive where as you and I both do.
