"My beloved Princess, you eat meat. Minks are vicious carnivores and the ones used for fur are raised for no other purpose - not trapped. They are well treated, then killed humanely. If your ancestors had not killed for meat and fur as the last glaciation retreated, you would not be here. Illogical sentiment leads to the sort of tragedy you find in India and Bangladesh."
(from The Number of the Beast, by Robert A. Heinlein)
