Humans generally don't need to kill animals.
Neither do cows but I've seen one too many slurp a Snake like spaghetti and eat baby birds as if they were KitKats
Just because an animal does it doesn't mean it's okay for humans to do it
Aren't we also "just" animals as well though?
(Not defending either side, I just really dislike it when statements suggest we aren't also literally animals that somehow figured out to think slightly more than others...)
Technically correct is the best correct. We are animals!
We are animals in a very literal sense, but justifying an immoral act because it's natural for animals to do it opens the door to justifying other immoral acts because animals do them. Humans are animals, but we're uniquely the only animals capable of choosing to act ethically.
Then comparing human teeth to animal teeth is irrelevant no? Because what the animals do is irrelevant.
Explain why not
Many animals reproduce via rape. If I need to explain further, then I can't help you
Don't kid yourself, Jimmy boi. If a cow ever got the chance, he'd eat you and everyone you care about!
That depends on which humans and where. There are still plenty of tribes that live in areas where vegetation simply does not support their population. Luckily, humans evolved to be feed on more things than most things on the planet. We can eat plants, fungi, bugs, fish, etc.
So you're right. Humans don't need to kill animals. We can survive by killing just about any living thing on this planet. We can even eat things that would otherwise be super toxic to us by learning how to cook it, peel it, or skin it.

It’s true. I usually eat animals that were killed for me. Thanks, grocery stores!
Nothing does.
Soon we’ll be able to produce all the meat we want without any conscious creatures involved
I'll just wait until photosynthesis can support brain function.
You sick bastard. Oh well to each his own.
Well, I don't like meat anyway, so...
Let me guess: fava beans?
I don't get what you're trying to guess.
But, kidney beans.
