On that same thought, wouldn't the same be true of the bear and the salmon? Would it not be the responsibility of the bear to take care of the salmon, instead of eating him, since the bear is higher on the food chain? Or does that food chain reasoning apply only to people?

Also, how do we know for sure that a carrot does not feel? It grows, therefore it is alive. But just because it doesn't have the same kind of brain and nervous system that we are familiar with, doesn't mean it doesn't feel and suffer. We used to think nothiing could live without sunlight too. We were wrong. We used to think the world was flat. We were wrong.
