But fine, let’s extend it further.
If there were a predator of our aliens and we were able to make a plea on our aliens behalf, would we?
Of course we would.
Nobody’s asking you anything. When playing hypotheticals you have to stay within the parameters. Respectfully, you’re producing comments that are way off the mark and take away the fun 
I don’t mean to take away the fun.
I just don’t think the metaphor stays within any parameters at all.
You’re putting ‘okay, but ignore that’s’ all the way through it.
Whether we are the aliens or ourselves being oppressed by aliens.
It’s all good 
We’ll just have to leave this one be.
I think what we’ve all learned from this, is that it’s fine to eat whale.
Because they’re intelligent, but eat living creatures anyway.
So ■■■■ them.

I sure am gonna enjoy my scotch fillet tonight.
As your many times grandfather probably did thousands of years ago.
What you’re not going to do is discover a new species and go, ‘Cool! Let’s eat it!’
Totally. With the odd exception…like the dung beetle.
Unless it asks you not to.
I seriously feel like the aliens have taken us a long way from the point.
We don’t eat lions, but lions will totally eat us.
Fit that into your metaphor.
We don’t eat cows, we milk them.
We eat Steers.
So there’s that sorted.
Sexist.
Just kidding, we eat Cows too,… once we’re done Milking them. 
Yes and some chefs are favouring certain cuts of the older meat for slow cooking. And anyway, the cows are old so it doesn’t matter yeah? They would have got the flu anyway.
Woah, man.
Not cool.
Sorry I didn’t express my sarcasm very well there. I don’t hold that view.
No, I got it.
Good point, well made.
Just kind of an RKO.
Would like to know why all you heartless Victorians have no issue eating flake?
It’s farking around with the balance in the marine eco system, where even the poor old gummy sharks serve a purpose.
People get outraged when the Chinese fishing trawlers catch vast amounts of sharks, just to cut their fins off & discard the rest; just cause it’s sharks we are talking about, doesn’t mean it’s ok.
Eat fish at your local F&C shop like the rest of us Aussies, leave the poor old gummy sharks alone.
This, I suspect is a completely contradictory & self defeating statement. 
What exactly do you think they are selling as Flake at your Local Fish n Chipper?
Maybe I can’t make a point clearly. Maybe I can but people can’t understand. I dunno.
