"If you study animals in the wild, you will note that they do not rely on anything other than their natural hunting abilities, speed, strength, claws, teeth and jaws. They have no tools or weapons. Now look at yourself. Look at your flimsy fingernails in comparison to an eagle's talons. Look at your flat, blunt teeth compared to a lion's fangs. Compare your speed and agility to that of a tiger. Compare the strength of your jaw to a wolf's. Imagine yourself trying to run after an animal, catch it, and kill it using your bare hands, fingernails, teeth and jaws. Not only would you look ridiculous, but you'd get your ass kicked, too. And even if you were successful, envision yourself eating the kill without the aid of an oven and silverware. Yes the human brain allows us to stay removed from the process of hunting. But does this mean we are "evolved" and "intelligent" and should be eating animal flesh just because we can? Man's "intelligence" also created alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs. should we drink, smoke, and use just because we can?"
