Yes mate I am, comes of being an omnivore and having a high protein and calorie diet. Life struggles to live. The most secure evolutionary mammal species on this planet after homo sapiens are Cattle, Sheep, Dogs, Pigs and Cats. What's the common denominator?

This post suggests otherwise unfortunately....
again you equate success/security with quantity, which to my mind is ridiculous and argued to it's conclusions.. Sick.

Having seen pods of orca and humpback whale in the wild, the thought of killing them for food is pretty bloody obscene. There should be a world wide ban.

Success/security in evolutionary terms = quantity. That's not really debatable.

Acknowledge the reality of our circumstance and argue for better..

The reality of our circumstance is that domestic livestock live through our benevolence. Arguing for better would require a resolve of genocidal proportions.

They do not live through our benevolence.. C'mon.. That's a ridiculous delusion.

How about caring for animals rather than abusing/using and exploiting them?
