The vegetarian is being savaged by the Lion on the African Savanna, turning helplessly to the game hunter he cries "do something, help me". The gamehunter puts two bullets into the vegetarian and puts him out of his misery, leaving the Lion to feast on the body. The game hunter was later reported to have said "It's what he would have wanted".
We could all live on a vegetarian diet, it would be better for our health and the health of the planet. When it comes to killing animals, as that little tale(tail)illustrates, you have to be careful what exactly you wish for. There are times when it is beneficial. I would draw the line on testing for cosmetic reasons which are the result of pride (see a lion pun), but when it comes down to health, or a natural inbalance (funny how animal cruelty is Ok when your house is infested with rats).
