Similar to any creature,
Homo sapiens is self-centered and predisposed to himself. There is no reason nor means for justifying what is done by us to other creatures within the limits of what is necessary for our satisfactory existence and survival.
Killing to kill is wrong, but killing to eat is business as usual at Earth, Inc. Can I justify why I hold these two particular beliefs? No, not especially, except to say that I love me, which is ultimately the sole justification for any system of morality.
Wishes,
Jon
