No confusion, but once again, the onus is on "vegans"
and other believers in animal "rights" to explain how
something that was both biologically and behaviorally
natural, and that appeared in a pre-morality era, could
become judged as immoral. Don't bother with the usual
and tired comparison to slavery, which is strictly a
cultural and behavioral artifact, and which is further
dismissable on the grounds that the slaves themselves
felt their rights were being violated and could express
that belief.
