Animals should have the right to life. (veganism)

Hello, You start by equating animals and humans with the same moral value and traits. Okay under that principle, If animals (which we are animals also) eat other animals, Being of equal moral value and also being animals, Then we should also, Right? You say we are of equal moral value, You should add equal nutritional value. Just ask the shark, Lion, Or any other animal that would eat you. Besides moral value, Animals have nutritional value, Mostly protein, Including us as mammals, Though I'm not promoting cannibalism. Protein is required for human growth. Eating the flesh of animals is the most efficient way to eat that protein and also to produce a large enough amount of protein for the population. You talk about needless slaughter, How else are you going to eat them, Alive? And have you ever watched an animal kill another animal for food, Its a fight and usually a blood bath. There is no moral high grown involved, One animal has something the other wants and that's flesh. The prey does not want to give it up that flesh so it's a fight. If the prey escapes, He lives to be prey another day, If not then it's a feast for the hunter. But as higher moral creatures as you stated us humans are (though we were equal earlier, ) we should be harvesting animals humanely and with as little suffering as possible, Which is the case most times. Your definition of right to life that including rape is a little out there for a debate on veganism. I, And i think almost everyone, Agree that animals should not be raped, So I will give you that. As for animals being enslaved, Well yeah, We have to keep them some where, We call them pastures and pens. You now change from moral equality and note that "because one object has more moral value than another object that doesn't grant the first object total reign over the second one" which is true. As humans our superior strength, Physical traits, And intelligence give us that reign and superiority. Vegans agree that we are superior because they say we should take care of and protect the animals, Making us superior over them. We just choose it eat certain ones because they are tasty. Also we evolved to eat animals. Our eye teeth are for ripping flesh. Our molars are designed to chew that flesh up for easier digestion. Lastly, What do most people do when you see a spider in your house, Kill it right? Or you remove it from where it wants to be and place it outside, Resetting it's search for another animal, A fly in this case, To EAT. But where is the line? Do you kill a spider or the fly because it's in your house? What about a bigger animal like a skunk or possum? Why do we draw a line about what we can and can't eat? Other cultures eat cats, Dogs, And horses all because they are protein. What makes us different is our intelligence. That gives us reign over the animals of this earth. We should not abuse that by treating animals inhumanely. But it does not mean we should pass up on the best source of nutritional protein just because it hard be imagine eating something that was alive. Well it's hard to imagine until that smell raises from the grill. Side not, For some reason it keeps capitalizing letters after commas and it changed a few other things too. I have corrected what it would allow me to correct but it is what it is.
