Quite right, but it still doesn't justify cruelty to other species anymore than claiming it's OK to belt your partner because the bloke next door does.

Again, i agree, but what is not cruel about killing something that doesnt want to die? Which activity do you think brings the greatest amount of cruelty: recreational hunting or or industrial farming?
