Most babies (I'm not talking fetuses or embryos) don't really know what's going on either.

I didn't mean to make it sound as though it was ok to kill for no reason, more or less I was saying that at least we are eating what we kill so there is purpose behind the lobster vs stepping on ants/ putting poison on an ant hill because they are an inconvenience, since honestly we are the real inconvenience to the ant..
I feel that people prioritize whats humane based on the level on consciousness an animal/insect has.
Your right I do need to explain myself better...
