	This is what I perceive as a moral difference:: the domestic animal
was brought into existance, raised, fed, and cared for by human for the
express purpose of becoming somebody's food. As such, it is conceiveable
that these humans have some sort of claim to its life.
None of these considerations apply to the wild animal, it came into
exisistance without direct human intervention and therefore man cannot
claim propriety over its life using the same (however valid) reasoning.

	I hope I've managed to express my feelings comprehensibly. I'm not
sure how strongly I feel about it, and I do recognize there are attitudes
out there like "It's our country, so anything out there belongs to us."
