I can confidently say that I have never raped an animal.
My housecat engages in a lot of torture, but she's a damned good mouser. I put a stop to the torture when I catch it. I don't allow my cats outside because they're so bad on native wildlife, especially ground nesting birds. Cats are obligate predators. I kill cats if I find them in the woods as they are now varmints.
I'm an omnivore, and am at peace with that. I strive to kill in a manner that I find ethical. I kill critters to eat them, varmints to restore balance. I'll eat the varmints if I can.
I live in the real world.
