you do realise that we are one of the very, very few large animals that don't do this every time they eat, right?
it's food, that's all, just food, and being eaten alive by us is no worse than being eaten alive by any of its other predators.

The fundamental difference is that 'we' have cognisance, and can actively choose not to inflict unnecessary suffering.

doesn't make any difference to the frog
he's just there being eaten alive by a predator, like all his mates in the wild will be. Could be worse, he could have been caught by a cat.

I believe myself to be better than an animal.
I tend not to mark my territory with excrement and don't propagate with rape.

The fact that you're able to muse on the morality of "right" suggests I am.

I'm with you on it being disgusting, but I think Mr. PollyWog was dead the second that huge knife severed it's backbone.
All we're seeing is residual nerve firings.
Still, bleeeeuurrgghh.
