78->'''Soma:''' In nature, we have the predator-prey relationship. Taking this as an example of many other such relationships, we see one creature outright killing another for the sake of its own continued existence. Now, no one would take issue with me if I dined on a fillet of Magikarp, but I believe I would immediately be burned at the stake if I attempted to consume, say, you. So the question becomes: at which point does a normal hunt become murder?\
79'''Mulberry:''' You claim sapience is the answer to this question?\
80'''Soma:''' Sapience is the ''attempt'' at answering the question. The line has to be drawn somewhere, otherwise we are left with two extremes that are not desirable. All meat is murder, in which case carnivores starve, or no meat is murder, in which case you could kill anyone you wanted so long as it was for food purposes.

89-->-- ''VideoGame/FridayNightFever''

91->''Of course, as is the case in similar stories with anthropomorphic animals, you have the moral quandary of intelligent animals eating other intelligent animals. If they were all humans instead of animals, this whole thing would be highly disturbing, but they're not, so it's not. So I guess it's okay for a talking fox to eat a talking mouse. I know it's a convention we're pretty used to by now, but that doesn't mean it isn't weird.''
