I have exactly the same feeling. Strength of feeling similar as well.
I also get a very sick feeling about people who needlessly harm animals.
I see no point.
I can kill. I realise it seems necessary often the way we live. I will certainly kill to eat, to protect and to prevent suffering - but, otherwise, well, really, I find it more than strange.
I often think about our practice of eating animal flesh. I do and I like it - but, it seems, well, primitive. I then see how we have captured animals and bred them in captivity for the soul purpose of eating them and I question that.
Only 3000 to 4000 years ago we were using stone tools - now, when many of us live to be almost 100 years - 3000 isn't far back.
And when I see a new born calf and how beautiful it is and then eat beef. Then I see dickheads who kill for pleasure - well, I really understand that we are still really primitive.
We sit and communicate via mobile phone and computer and drive flash cars - but, the reality is we are a very vicious angry animal who hasn't come very far at all.
All this supposed advancement and we still eat our fellow creatures. And worse still, we still kill them for no reason and some of us inflict pain on them for our pleasure.
Embarrassingly, I think we came down the wrong tree.
