Killing can never be justified.
Well, there is a difference between killing on purpose and killing on accident
For example, if you trap on a bug, because you didn't see it, is not as bad as going to - for example - a nest of young birds and start jumping on the eggs.
In the way of shooting ducks for food, if you don't have any other food and you are starving to death, well, i can come in. But, if one does it for sport, it's as cruel as murdering a human being.

I can sort of understand why killing anything is wrong - even if the intention is to keep oneself alive. The Bible seems to be full of imperatives that are simply not doable. I for one would choose to kill an animal of meat in order to prevent starvation, and I'm sure most others would too. However, I also believe that people should not dismiss the Bible as unscientific nonsense since it cannot be proved nor disproved, and I see little point in arguing - everyone should acknowledge that religion is merely a matter of faith and personal belief... not a matter of some offertory scientific facts. In my opinion, people who rely solely on science are far more ridiculous than religious people, as even to this day, science cannot explain everything about everything.
To clarify my main point: religion is simply a personal belief that can neither be proved nor disproved. Science is not incompatible with faith, despite what many people might say. Although it may provide an improbable 'view' on the case, it certainly is not concrete therefore everybody should be allowed to believe what they wish without being ridiculed for it.

This is actually a bad statement, since then you could say cannibalism is right too.
I think there are people who eat to much meat, for example, i think one piece of meat for diner is okay, because a human being needs it. But, people tend to eat it for lunch too. I think that's wrong. Yes, it might be tasty, but how tasty is it when you know you are eating a dead animal and your body doesn't even need this.
There are alternatives to meat, but not everyone can afford them, so i will leave it out of the case.

The Bible said something about lions eating grass in Heaven or something like that.Holy Crap said:If there is something wrong with it, lions are sinners.

No, it wasn't. It was definitely in future tense.Joshua822 said:

I find that disturbing. You just said that it's okay for a person to eat meat, but you also said that an animal's life is worth at least the same as a human's. You're advocating cannibalism.Joshua822 said:
