Well, that's a pretty narrow thing to say, you know. For a start, I'm a 
vegetarian. For another thing, I have not intentionally killed any living 
thing since about 1991 when I began to get interested in Buddhism. Also, 
intentionally killing something and killing something by accident is an 
entirely, entirely different proposition - as is the difference between 
killing a wheat stalk (which if you reap it you aren't really doing anyway 
as the core plant grows on) So no, I don't agree with you. I don't think 
it's our right to kill and it's a thing we must do only out of absolute 
necessity. I have never found it necessary to kill a human, nor to have the 
means to do so.
