Breathtaking.
The beauty, the sublimeness, that man can even take such photos is a testimony to his genius. Talk about batting above your game!
And that the universe can be so incredibly beautiful. It is unbelievably so.

Methinks that is why this endless quest to exterminate them is in progress.
Also, see: Cannibalism in humans - Wikipedia[^] - it's generally done to acquire the attributes of the meal, such as a bold warrior.
Perhaps this jives in beautifully with your link? A deep rooted subscription to "you are what you eat" ?

Nor will cats, even if we don't eat them. On the contrary, teaming up with us has given cats a huge advantage over all other species, except for us.

Where do we draw the line?
May I keep my cat, but eat everything else?

No reason to say 'may I' - not my decision.
However, you may as well eat the cat, too.
Aside from size, what the 's the difference?
P.S. Don't get any ideas for the or - we need them.

I'm not about to become a vegetarian. I know why mother nature has given me some sharp teeth and the ability to digest meat. Without any discussion about the quantity, we even need some meat for a healthy diet.
So, I must swallow pills or risk malnutrition if I love animals? And speaking of the cat, how should we make them do that trick?

My children all raised vegetarian - and no ill effects, unless one considers being on varsity sports in High School, being National Merit Finalists, Salutatorian, and such to be indications of a deficient diet.
The following is not meant to convince, but to inform:
You neglect an important 'nuance' about vegetarianism. There are two broad groups: those that do it for health, those that do it for ethics. To the former group, I will give you some agreement as one would previously have to have been sipping warm lard through a straw to notice a real health improvement (aside from placebo effect). To the latter group, no physical benefit is expected; it is a matter of morality and is, effectively, its own reward.
Further addressing the latter group: consider that the capability of doing something (like using your incisors) is no justification for doing it. You can, after all, bite your cats throat open and use the blood to dye your socks - but you don't. Why not? What you can do and what you should do overlap like two Venn Diagrams.
Preposition: you were fed meet long before you understood what it was and it's easy to continue. Had this not been so, and you were offered meat for the first time as a sentient adult, you stare at the offerer and the offering in disgust and horror.
History's famous ethical vegetarians (Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Franz Kafka, Jane Goodall, Benjamin Franklyn, Lenoardo Da Vinci[^] . . . ). Those who do it for supposed health (Hitler, Kellogg).
So do what you want - I couldn't convince you otherwise if I tried. But do it cognizant that the nature of this behavior is fully voluntary on your part.

Agreed, just look at Brendan Brazier, triathlete, or Mac Danzig, UFC fighter, both vegan. Then tell me you 'need' animal products.

Had this not been so, and you were offered meat for the first time as a sentient adult, you stare at the offerer and the offering in disgust and horror. Not quite. As a child you learn from your parents what to eat and what not. You will be very cautious about eating anything that does not fit into the picture you have been taught. This does not only apply to eating meat.
W∴ Balboos wrote: That is a pure crock of shyte. Embraced after lifetime of brainwashing. Let's not split hairs by counting eggs or fish as 'vegetables'. You may not directly need meat to get them, but without a proper source of some animal fats or proteins you are in trouble.

Fortunately I don't believe that we have been designed. I would have some question to the designer's sanity then. Like all organisms we have evolved and the anatomy of an organism tells us a lot about its natural way of life. What would you conclude from our teeth or from our digestive system? Do they resemble those of herbivores very much? And now we take the cat again. It could not even digest vegetables. Would it also be a question of morality? Or do cats have different morals? Indeed they do, because they would starve if they are not able to catch and kill their prey. They don't feel guilty at all. They are proud of what they do.
