wow - this guy is dumb. all I was saying Craig (in little words) is that if you believe it wrong to kick a dog, you should also believe it wrong to kill a dog. I believe the right to not be killed comes before the right to not be kicked. To suggest that you can eat, but not kick, something is (in my opinion) inconsistent and is very convenient for people who want to keep eating meat but who cry when Lassie gets hurt. Peter Singer is consistent in not eating meat, and I am consistent in eating meat and in opposing legislation to protect animals. That's a political position - on a moral level I wouldn't kick a dog. I just wouldn't legislate to impose my morals.
