Huge gap between humans and animals

So you respect what nature did? killing to survive.
I think I made that clear but if not, yes I respect that life has to kill to survive. But one should only kill what is absolutely necessary and give thanks to that life that sustains one's own life.

I'm pretty sure to the chicken it is.

I said compared to yours, is losing a chicken's life is similar to losing a human life.
do you think the chicken has worries about what will happen to her children after dying
and what the others will feel about her once she(it) died.

Do you think the chicken think about the future and have some plans for tomorrow?
In which way life is precious for the chicken? did you ask the chicken?

You have missed the important message here. You are so focused on yourself you do not recognize the value of other life. Your use of it is an indication of your lack of respect for life. Is god an it? Or is god a he or she?

Of course it is. All life is precious in its own way.

Not precious but it's forced to, what kind of precious life that the cockroach has,
living in a sewer, you may think such kind of life is precious to the cockroach, but
do you really think that such kind of life is precious.

God has no gender, not he, not she, not it, but we have to use a pronoun.
didn't you ever kill some mosquitoes or roaches, if you respect life then
why you have to kill them? why you keep in deceiving your own self.

Will you kill a person to get some food?

the whole of life on this planet was formed to create ....spirit

the greater spirit will rise to greater things

the lesser spirit....back to the dust

You missed the point, and that is that it boils down to a matter of who or what is doing the evaluating.

We may not like some forms of life and some may be a risk to humans but they are all formed by the same creative force and deserve respect. That does not mean you have to like them just respect them as living things.

And the humane treatment of animals shows up in the scriptures.

Yes you could use the pronoun she of just skip pronouns. You have such a limited understanding of the natural world we live in. Animals kill to eat, animals kill to defend ourselves from harm. Yes I have killed mosquitoes when they are trying to bite me and usually release other insects outside rather than just killing them. I still have respect for life but know that protecting ones self or killing to survive is a natural act and does not show disrespect. Killing just to kill or inhumane treatment of animals for food is disrespect.

How do you respect the mosquitoes life and then kill them?
again what do mean by respect.

Will you kill a person to get his food? in a case you have no choices or other resources.
Ridiculous question there are always other choices and the answer probably cannot be given until someone is actually in that positions. Fortunately I am not so answer the question for yourself.

If there were no other choices but to kill a family to get their food, then will you?
