Viruses are ‘death’. Viruses are ‘dead’ until they find ‘food’ and they make ‘life’ possible. Without them, life would have ceased on Earth a LONG time ago.

I think you meant to write "bacteria" instead of "viruses."

But I agree with your basic objection, and would like to add my assertion that the death of animals (accidental or otherwise - e.g., by other animals, or by men, for nourishment) is non-moral, insofar as animals are without souls.

Thanks for your response.

I meant viruses. Viruses can only ‘live’ by destroying LIVE cells. Bacteria can grow on non-living surfaces, and live BETWEEN cells. Many bacteria are beneficial. There are no ‘beneficial’ viruses.

Here is a pretty good comparison, and explanation of their functions.
