If I accepted your premise that we should be empathetic toward wild animals
then the first thing I would do is round them all up and put them on a farm,
where they could die quickly at the hands of farmers instead of suffering
long agonizing deaths as they are attacked and ripped apart and sometimes
eaten alive by predators.
However as you know I don't accept the premise anyway. :)
Humans are thrown into the world as natural omnivores. If I have any moral
duty as it pertains to diet then it is to feed myself and my loved ones
according to the design of nature.
