A herbivore does the things a herbivore does because it is natural for it to be that way... but that is a question separate from if it is 'right' to do the things that a herbivore does.
Are you really saying it's 'not right' for an herbivore to be an herbivore? I'm not a nihilist, so I'm just going to have to disagree.
e.g. killing someone to save yourself complicates the moral question of if it is right to kill another person.
Not really. Circumstances are neat little things.
Is it OK for me to kill another man, if I am very polite about it? Or if, up to that point, I have treated him with care and love?
As long as you offer tea and crumpets beforehand, yes.
