Call the process thinker who regards the killing of non-human animals for food as (usually) morally wrong a ''zoophile''. Even if the zoophile regards human beings as more capable of experience and insight than another animals, and as therefore more valuable than other animals, she may regard non-human animals as moral patients. She may well not regard predatory animals as full moral agents; she will then have no reason to see their killing of other animals for food as itself morally wrong, because predators are not themselves subject to moral assessments. But she may still find it difficult to '''square''' God's encouragement of predation with an attractive account of divine goodness.}}
