Oh, like a lobster!

I'm not trying to be pedantic, I am a proud omnivore (albeit a conscientious one: I don't eat from factory farms that mistreat the animals while it's alive.)

But the question of whether or not it is wrong to kill for food is complex, and the answer, "it's okay as long as it doesn't have a very large prefrontal cortex" is arbitrary at best.

Personally I think that it is morally right to kill for food. It's perfectly natural.

As an intelligent, self-aware species we have a moral obligation to be humane about how we get our protein, but a "monster" that hunts and kills humans for food is probably more moral than a human who hunts monsters for glory or the princess's hand in marriage.
