So...
1. Some humans at some point were attacked by some animals for reasons some humans saw as unprovoked.
2. Therefore all humans, even those never attacked by any animal in any circumstance, have (by virtue of some sort of species self-defense?) the right to kill (and maybe eat, or just eat animals killed by others in some unseen factory somewhere) any animals they want (as long as they aren't owned or protected by some other humans...)?

Well...that actually wasn't what I was saying. I was more pointing out one fallacy in the arguements of some of the people who emailed the guy who ran that site.

I think "because they're tasty" is more like the actual reason people decide to eat animals. That, and they don't have to face and kill (or "clean", or even cook) them themselves.

Granted, if they weren't tasty people likely wouldn't eat animals

However, some people do "face and kill" and clean and even cook them. For example, me. I help to butcher the animal, and have absolutely no problem eating a steak that night.

Animals eat other animals, and a lot more cruelly than people eat animals. After all, we kill them humanely, without any suffering. We're a lot nicer than animal carnivores. I don't see any reason why animals should eat animals, but people shouldn't...??
