This is similar to the "but it's natural" argument I wrote in the orignal post. Just because things are the way they are does not imply that this is right.

We must then reject a great deal of our cultural and societal advances so that we do not bring suffering upon any sentient creature. We cannot build/pave large expanses of land because of the suffering and killing it does to numerous creatures. We cannot use chemicals that may cause damage to creatures. We cannot turn animal habitat into farmable land because this is again hurting the animals. In fact, just about everything we do in life is somehow going to negatively affect some animal somewhere.
