Yeah, but I'm a weird thing that has to do very little to get food. A lot of time my meals come from a car window. I don't quite live the same oceanic experience that a pack of humboldt squid get to traverse. I guess the place that I get to with it is that I have a choice and that is a unique privilage. I have no problem with people eating animals. It's a bizarre luxury of the type of thing I am, where I don't have to kill to live and nothing is trying to kill me that I know of and/or worry about.

If I have that knowledge, potentially I have moral imperative to use it. Compassion for things that I don't have to have it for might be something I'm supposed to do with my time piloting this homunculus.
