OH GOD HAHAHA
You're actually using your religion to justify the behavior? Holy stuff, dude, get help.
well
technically he has a point
if a deity were to be responsible for creation in your beliefs, it would probably have caused the animals on earth to exist by w/e means for the sake of the stability of earth
i.e., contributing to the food web by eating+being eaten
i mean, if you think of it that way
...
but of course we know that's not the context and he's just saying that they're here so
we can kill them and eat them which is p silly
