The above is the 6th of the Ten Commandments written in stone. What was not carved on the stone tablet was the small print of exceptions or loopholes:
Unless in war.
In self-defense.
Protecting one's property.
In executions.
In the name of a religion (any).
Euthanasia of animals to prevent overcrowding.
Hunting wild animals for the sport (or fun) of it.
Ok to kill insects.
Ok to kill for food.*
*as a matter of fact, the Earth’s animals’ ecological system is based on killing each other for food.
We humans can find excuses for everything, can't we?
