  Bad example. You seem to be arguing that a wolf eating the other wolf
is ok, only a wolf eating the sheep is bad, and hence the sheep requires
special protection.

  The law should be the same for everybody. Subject A eating subject B is
illegal, regardless of who A and B are. In fact, having a double standard
here would be the horrendously bad thing.
