Brilliant. The philosophy I needed many, many years ago. On a semi-related note you would love the work of Carol Adams. Yes, everything eats and gets eaten. Yes, violence exists in nature. No, it doesn't have to look like this. We can meet the needs required for sustaining the cycle of life while also maintaining fierce respect for the dignity of all lives.

Excellent, and crucial.
