lol this thread is hilarious. How do you justify killing anything for the sake of staying alive(be it human or shrimp) is ok, but if that organism were "designated" as a pet then its unethical?
If you owned a pet strore and a customer came in and wanted to buy rabbits (which were meant to be pets) to feed his lizard or snake would you sell the rabbits to him? And if not why, afterall the snake and lizard have to eat.
Of course I would sell to them! I make a profit, and he gets to NATURALLY feed his pet as it would be doing in the wild anyways.
Besides, who is to say something is "meant" to be a pet? I say all animals low on the food chain are "meant" to be consumed by those above them.
