Can you convince yourselves that your cat does not kill birds, when statistics show pet cats only bring home 23% of their kills? There is no moral ambiguity here.

The study also found that: "IQ remained a statistically significant predictor of being vegetarian as an adult after adjustment for social class (both in childhood and currently), academic or vocational qualifications, and sex."
