By killing for food, we’re kind of like cats

Editor,

It was recently reported in the media that cats — including our domesticated ones — are murderers, because they kill millions of mice, birds and other small animals every year. It seems to me that, using that logic, we human beings are also murderers, because we kill a vast number of cows, pigs, sheep, birds and other living creatures every year. In addition to that, we breed and keep a vast number of creatures penned up in unhealthy conditions every year for the sole purpose of murdering them so we can eat them.
