Sea lions are killed here for eating salmon. We all know that it's not the sea lions' fault that the salmon runs are either threatened or endangered.

The animals on farms are created for the sole purpose of human consumption. Finally, people who object to our moral stance jump species and say we should object to the lion killing the gazelle. Whether lions can do that or not is not something I think about. Tags: Ethics Language. The choice isn't the wild or the farm.
