You have no way of knowing what they would or would not prefer. Your opinion
is self-serving. I imagine they would prefer to go on living. I choose to
condone ending their lives to feed my family. It is sick and depraved to
get excited watching animals rip each apart. Anyone who would do or condone
such a thing is a pariah and a criminal.
