I'm ok with killing them for food, but um. If you have access to a computer, which means electricity, which somtimes means non-rural. Which means that you have access to another food-source. You can get food at the market, farmers market, or your nearest grocery store :/. Unless you live in the woods and have some sort of Renewable energy source to power your electricity.
So I don't think that killing it for food IN THIS CASE was not very necessary.
