Humans as a species are predators, we eat other animals. But of course in our minds we have a tendency to have empathy for the victims of our carnivorous nature.

On one hand we want to kill and devour them, but on the other hand we care about them enough to want to ensure their survival in order to make sure there is lots of them around to kill and devour. They make our bloodthirst wantonly satisfied, and the nourishment garnered from their corpses makes us physically strong and powerful and mentally intelligent and wise. That is why there is a horned skull hanging on the wall in my home. The dual horns represent this duality of mankind's nature. They are a reminder that recognises the conflict and underscores the importance of balance in life.

In my view, any time you eat another animal you should remember that it's life was sacrificed for the specific purpose of letting you and those sharing that meal with you live. Anytime you put on that leather jacket, remember who's soul you are wearing to help keep you warm.

And be grateful for that sacrifice and do not take it for granted. Always say grace before a meal in recognition of the dead, for we are animals too. Recognize that another living being, another living, caring and feeling being that is a mother, father, sister or brother or child has died so that you and yours may live.

That is why I always insist that we say grace at the dinner table.
