*nods*.. I concur with the other posters that it's a lot more morally acceptable, in my book, to kill an animal if you're going to eat it and use the parts of its body you need, and not just mount its head on your wall, or cut off its fin and leave it (like they do to poor sharks).. but still, somehow I have a personal distaste for eating predators - and I've noticed, even among other omnivores like myself, the same feeling. Is it that we don't want to eat something that could eat us?.. not for me.. I just feel.. I dunno.. like it's wrong somehow. Like they're more intelligent and cunning, and 'like humans' somehow (they are, in fact..) - and thus it's less acceptable.
Plus, cats are.. well, my favorite kinds of animals.. and I'd hate to eat them, I'd never be able to look at them the same way again.
