Justify killing animals for nutrition when...

1. you don't have to (beans/rice, eggs, dairy, gluten, etc. provide enough protein),
2. you accept Darwinism and the conclusion that humans aren't ``special'' aside from their abilities (and the corollary that ability doesn't determine one's right to live), and
3. you hold empathy as a reasonable virtue

sapience
So retards (IQs the same as big mammals) don't deserve to live? Even so, many animals are intelligent:
