Of course when it comes to animals we as the good must take care of the little people. I compare the care we give to animals like the way we take care of children. Different cultures, countries, people, etc. have different ways to treat animals. That means no eating even if you are starving to death, mistreating, and worshiped to. For the religion either says that when you die you are resurrected as an animal or that one's god is an animal.
Some cultures eat certain animals that others find unthinkable to eat.
India finds it horrible that Americans can not live without their beef. Americans find it horrible that South Koreans eat dogs. Some people who feel animals are not as important will not care for the loss of their hunting. Others, who care dearly about animals will not hunt, join groups to protect animals, volunteer time for the protection of animals. In a wealthy first world country such as America we spent time and money protecting animals.
