Truth (and this is only for Truth. If you have no belief in the Bible, save your breath.)
You should not feel guilty about killing an animal or killing a plant. Plants are not really alive in the animalian sence. They have no feelings and no life-blood. And after the flood, God gave all kinds of creatures to mankind as a second food source (in addition to veggitation). We should not be cruel to animals or kill them indiscriminately, but we also need not feel guilty about eating beef or killing a misquito.
Plants, whose to say that they do not realize right from wrong? Whose to say they are not self-aware?
All kinds of animals have been on this planet much before the " flood ".
