On the one hand, people are arguing that animals don't deserve our consideration and compassion because they aren't sentient yet. On the other hand, they argue that it's ok for humans to behave like animals; ie., since animals do it, then we can too.
We can't have it both ways. If we're more highly evolved than 2D entities, then the fact that 2D entities kill one another doesn't mean that we should too.
Plus, animals only kill for survival. That is a key difference. Humans do it because...they like the taste of bacon!
