I agree, kayleigh, that the members of one species killing animals of another species *is* completely normal, and in the case of a lion is its only way to survive, brutal as that is for the gazelle: asphyxiation by having one's throat clamped by sharp teeth certainly can't be pleasant.
Yet since people can
choose not to live that way, then people are left with the question: how do they decide whom to kill and eat? We each answer this question differently.
I feel that looking to other species and what is normal for them to help us decide what to do doesn't really work well because we aren't lions or tigers and we *can* survive without eating other animals.
Furthermore, it is completely normal for members of a species to kill each other. Does this mean we should do it? Murdering humans is completely natural. Cannibalism doesn't go against nature and has been practiced for a variety of reasons over the years (among Aztecs and among starving sailors drawing straws to see who gets eaten next). That doesn't mean we will all want to be cannibals. I can think of several good reasons for not being a cannibal.
Uh...about the 21-years-old business, kayleigh...I'm a teensy bit older than that, now that it's no longer April Fool's day and I have to tell the truth!

This is very true, Urban! Nutritionists view all mammal meat as red meat.
