Again, I will have to emphasise the difference between killing on purpose -
with a clear intent to maim, or kill maliciously or otherwise - with
killing of things either by mistake or, in the case of plants, something
that feels no pain or consciousness anyway (so far as we know) They're two
entirely different things. So no, I do not believe this is hypocracy.
