Hey, Union. I dig you completely. Except for us vegetarians, it's eat or be eaten. At least you're not a speciesist.
You share the same birthday as my late mother. When I was old enough to know what meat was I asked her why we were doing it. She said it was in the Bible that that was what animals were for. I had zero religious education but all of a sudden she was Billy Sunday. Fortunately I saw Jesus Christ Superstar so that cleared that up.
