[split] "Some people eat animals, some don't."

[Diana]

I don't consider this to be a speciesist view, as i do take into the understanding the values and rights to animals. Nobody is talking about torturing or harming animals here. The higher second density animals that are moving towards self awareness are the domesticated house pets.

I AM talking about torturing and harming animals. 

And to me, all life is sacred. As Jade and Monica pointed out, there is no demarcation line between animals worthy of our compassion and animals who are not. So the choice has to be made: what life do I take to sustain my physical vehicle. There are many things to consider, which is why threads like this exist.

Anyone who values human life over other life, is in my opinion, displaying speciesism. I do realize that the subject matter is not simple, however.
