Do you believe there is a sharp moral distinction between the killing of one subset of animals and all other animals, and where do you place it?
On personal behavior, I will swat a mosquito, or deal with ants that are in the house. I ignore outdoor ants as far as possible. Unless causing a problem, I ignore spiders in the house on the theory that they can deal with mosquitos, ants, etc.
I don't have a problem eating meat - it see it as part of our natural diet. But I don't kill animals for sport.
I don't have a well developed moral position on it, for that would entail judging the actions of others. I prefer to not judge those who like hunting.
