Ugh. That language: “Harvesting the animal.” As if in God’s garden, you can kill whatever you want, that nothing else but you exists on its own terms or for its own reasons. And you don’t harvest something you, yourself, didn’t plant. It’s not a plant. It’s an animal. You slaughter it. You slaughter it for food or for vengeance but you don’t pick it like a flower. You don’t bring it in like crops from a field. You just kill it for sport. You take its life for ego gratification. To use the word “harvest” means that you have some intellectual difficulties with the nature of reality.
