Given that most people on Earth have no problem with animals dying, and in fact depend on it for daily nourishment, I don't feel like this meme makes much of a point.

    People kill animals to eat, not punish them.

    Imagine if people gave death penalty to all animals in a zoo because one employee happened to be a murderer.

    1. People don't need to kill animals to survive; it's an arbitrary choice just because we like meat.
    2. From the animal's POV the reason doesn't matter - dead is dead.

    Agreed with both of your points above. But I don’t see how that supports your claim that original meme had no point.

    My point is that the meme is nonsensical because it depends on "loving" meaning "won't let animals be collateral damage." Or since it asks why a god would kill "so much" animals, maybe it has a permissible threshold that isn't mentioned. Either way, I'm officially past my not-worth-it-anymore threshold on this thread.
