But perfectly acceptable to use insecticides, herbicides, pesticides, slug treatments, etc etc to kill millions of creatures just because they happen to be in the way of your crops? On a piece of land large enough to raise one bullock for slaughter you would be happy to kill thousands of creatures to grow plants? I have no problem killing something to eat, are you happy to sanction wholesale slaughter just to stop creatures eating your food?Its a perfectly reasonable belief to not want to kill animals for meat however
