LOL Of course it is. Makes it very convenient for you to ignore
the millions upon millions of animals that die for crop
production, right hypocrite? Claiming an animal has a 'right' to
be free of human use, and then killing them willy-nilly for
nothing more that YOUR conveninece and entertainment is the
definition of hypocritical, killer.

You have no real reason, just a simple rule for your simple mind,
