   I speak from my perspective, not from Vegans' perspective. Even less   
   from "purist vegan's" perspective. Purism for purism's sake leads to   
   irrationality. I believe I've stated my own thoughts on the pet issue in   
   this thread already.

   They do what comes to them naturally. Hence, no murder.

   So why all the examples from animal world then? Of course murder is a   
   man-made concept. I asked, how would *you* define "murder" but you   
   evaded the question.

   In a society where omnivore diet is the default, choosing vegetarian   
   diet is often times an individual choice if anything.
