Just an abused elephant killing people.
What they were answering

I wonder how you manage to "run my own worldwide telecommunications company" when you can't even read. I said*in the first sentence of my post*:
By stating you would never participate in those actions you implied that you were morally superior and in doing so indirectly condemned their actions.
Do you know what the word "implied" means? Clearly not. Allow me to explain. It does not mean that you state implicitly that you were moral superior. It means that the way you stated your preference to abstain from animal cruelty sounded as though you consider yourself to be moral superior to those who would not sacrifice their family's lives for the well being of an elephant.
Yes, your statement would be akin to saying you didn't like a color if you stated you preference for some colors as such:
I would abstain from wearing the color purple, even in the worst of times! I would be physically unable to wear the color purple, even if feeding my family relied upon it. There is always another color I could wear!
Now if I where to make this statement, It would be perfectly reasonable to assume that I am an idiot and that I consider wearing the color purple to be abhoralbe no matter the situation. It is not my tone that implies these two facts, it is the way I stated it and words I chose to use.
If you didn't wish to imply that you were moral superior (just so we're clear,…

The implication of moral superiority is subjective you moron! It is subjective based upon your inference, not mine. There was no intentional implication on my part, thus my statement "Any implication otherwise is not intentional." You are the one binding moral implications to my statement regarding what I would and would not be able to do! Given the socialization and stance I take on the issue, I would not be able to do that action. That does not mean that in any way I am passing judgement on those that can! Quit projecting your moral conundrums on me and carry about your day.
