They are reffering to the actions of humans, so no I don't think you are applying human morals to animals.

Imagine if I said it's immoral to vandalize public property. That's applying moral standards to humans. Not projecting them onto inanimate public property.

What? I don't get what you mean. I apply human morals to animals? Is rape, torture, and murder to ANY being actually moral? What is your definition of moral murder? And I wouldn't say your example of vandalism works. It doesn't affect animals the same way my statement does. Nor does vandalism happen on the same scale.

Applying morals about killing things to a human is applying human morals to humans. That's my point. Other guy is on some nonsense about applying morals to non humans, as if you are telling a lion not to hunt.

It's an example of applying human morals to humans even though the thing being acted on isn't a human. It's not supposed to have anything to do with animals.
