ok so we will compare squirrels and crows because they are found in fields and killed to grow veggies , compared to cows that are killed for my steak..
squirrels and crows are far smarter than a cow so you kill smart things to achieve a goal i kill dumber animals to achieve a goal .

i am not advocating killing our own species i am advocating kiling another so its a rather strange comparison. I will tweak it a bit as a better comparison. If a smarter life form such as aliens were growing humans for spare body parts , would it be ethical ? for them or us ? heh, i could understand it.
