    I was directly responding to the previous commenter saying that it’s natural to hunt and eat. Our current system of industrial farming of animals is inhumane for both animals and farmers. Nature might be unforgiving and metal, but we have brought the unnecessary torture of sentient animals to unholy levels.

    That’s what I meant with my comment.

      Plenty of animals kill just for fun and will torture their prey for hours. And just because something is inhumane, doesn’t make it unnatural. If anything, it’s humane practices that are unnatural.

        No other species has built killing factories that torture and kill billions of animals per day. It’s not even comparable.

        I use the word “humane” in the sense of “you would mot subject humans to it”.

            Oh, right, how could I forget the factory farms that ants build where they pack thousands of aphyds in tiny cubicles where they can’t even move, feed them unhealthy diets to make them grow at unhealthy speeds to the point their bones break, and then finally kill the for meat. /s

            Nothing else in nature compares to our animal torture industry.

              My brother in Christ you know nothing of the ant wars.

              Neither of the chimpanzee wars

              Learn a bit, it won’t kill you

                We’re not talking about war, that’s a whole other topic. Ants don’t have war for pleasure. They have war to protect or expand their territory. We torture animals for pleasure. I know trying to call me ignorant makes you feel a little better but it doesn’t make you correct.

      I didn’t say about hunting either, as it isn’t relevant to context of Irwin’s quote
