And then you have to kill its friends for their hides, and waste the meat I suppose? 
Humans are the only animal that consider it wrong to kill other types of animal. 
 
Incidentally, did you not internalize Douglas Adams' message about the perils of vegetarianism? 
 
 
... but I suggest any further discussion takes place in the P&R subforum.

Your are absolutely correct:  Any further discussion on the right/wrong of such a purchase belongs in another forum.  We call that the P&R Forum, if anyone here is not yet familiar with it.
Discussion on what case we want (or do not want - with the political motivations deleted) belong here.
