I can just try to be sensitive to how unnatural life is for everyone and try to do the best I can.

It is true that every animal living with man has been over bred to such an extent that it would not survive in the wild but the cat.
I would not advocate that anyone should get rid of their animals, just that we not forget our responsibilities over nature, and what our relationship to it should be.
BTW I do like meat!
And
some naked people!
