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.
