It doesn't matter whether or not it's realistic. I'm illustrating the point that your claiming that humans have the right to kill and eat animals because we are "superior" (whatever that means) is bull**** and merely arrogant self interest. If you really believed it, you would not at all be alarmed if aliens invaded. You'd just say, "Oh, ****! We've gotta do some-oh wait, nevermind. They're superior to us. Carry on then."
