It's not our fuckin' right either.
Exploiting the weak and voiceless is typical of humanity's selfishness.
So you don't swat mosquitoes if they land on you or trap a mouse that might wander into your home I hope. I love my dog, yay for domestication.

The water buffalo which is killed in Apocalypse Now or the rabbit in Necromantik are in the films for symbolism but would it really matter if they had used fakes or altered the manner in which the scene was shot?

Wasn't the buffalo used as food though? I don't know, I remember an ex-girlfriend going to Africa and to thank her group they brought in and slaughtered a goat for their "feast". It would have insulted the people had they not ate it. I have no problem eating dead animals, I do have a problem with people killing for entertainment or "sport" (hunting is fine to me, but to not eat the animal and hunt for "trophies" is disgusting).
