Pal, I assume you meant fish aren't mammals, otherwise your comment makes even less sense. I suggest you look up what is meat. Back in time, it even meant a veggie's pulp. It now refers to muscle tissue in general, wich, yeah, fish do have.
Also, the point isn't the meat, it's the act of taking one's life for selfish motives.
You sound like a nice person who fights for what you believe in. When you say forced morality, you mean just awareness and ethics. Rapists and pedos aren't even murderes, so yeah, I guess it's not such a good comparison, and don't forget about slavery. No much differs us from the animals, today we know they can even develop abstract thinking. They also have language systems (remember, one's language it's the expression of his ontological condition, thus being him an individual).
Koodos for you for doing charity, really. Notmany people do. I also devote my time and money as a volunteer at two social aid projects (one being at a children's hospital, another helping people build houses, as I live in an area of south Brazil that suffered a hell lot with landslides last year).
Back to the subject, you say you'd kill every endangered species if it would help people in need in some way. Now I'm eager to know what's the line you chalk between people and the other animals, and why is the pain of some worse than others on your point of view, since you yourself are so willing to express your primitivity - I don't mean this to offend you, really just making a point, violence is a part of human condition.
Btw, Signo, I'm really gonna make a thread about animal rights, I'm just answering statements directed at me. If I'm not supposed to answer people's opinions, nor are they supposed to raisem, eh? So I guess I'm not crossing any line, not by myself at least.
