I sort of think that we as humans are a little more emotionally complex and less survivalistic (is that a word) than, say, a hyena in the wild that can't go to Trader Joe's and get Organic Chicken.

well wait a second, is there a "natural food chain" or is it "God intended" ?
because i'll gaurantee you this, Nature alone doesn't care two licks about what is humane, or how something suffers before it dies.
The argument generally goes that human's are the only animal advanced enough to understand what it means to act "humanely", as such it is our responsibility to do so. But where does that responsibility come from? Most point to God, because Nature alone bestows no responsibility on us whatsoever, besides survive, survive, survive.

To me it does. I believe that there is a natural food chain/circle of predators and prey. I believe that God intended for animals to sustain themselves upon other animals.
Where the line becomed blurred or, in this case, stomped on, is when animals are treated cruelly their whole lives, only to end at a torturous, painful death.
It's like asking someone, would you rather be shot in the head, or dipped in boiling water until you die? Which is more humane?
