I expect many people to respond to my comment like that, Shh.
Too human to possibly understand? I dunno. I am not saying that killing is right or wrong, that is a question of morals. My view is strictly objective.
??? That made no sense.
Whether or not killing is "wrong" has no bearing on who is at fault.
Fault is an interesting word, too; is it your fault for being at a certain position at a certain time, or the gears behind the reaction?
kill a bug….kill a fly…..kill a wasp…..kill a mouse…..kill a rat……kill a rabbit……kill a cat……kill a dog…..kill a sheep…..kill a cow...kill a monkey... kill a human..
See, this list brings out the odd thing about scientific perspective and justification of killing. Would you kill a mouse for research? Would you kill a monkey for research? Where does the line go and why?
Also, Anarcho, can I kill you? Please?
Also, what about creatures who are born and raised to be dead meat one day? Is it their fault they were born in a cage, born to die?
To speak philosophically, if I raise an axe to somebody, then its my action and my fault that I did it. The person who died from the impact of an axe died from my action. If you would be objective, you would see two sides. You just sounded like you are trying to justify killing.

Don't expect anything.
If Boobaa kills you, it's your fault.
Just being objective.

As a man, I must be ready to kill (or die) some day. It's like a silent duty.
About animals, I just cannot kill any but cockroackes.
