I suppose it's easier to justify one's action against creatures of lesser sapience.

[Hm, wonder what terrible caste system from the past has such justification.

That said... In a way, he can understand. Soundwave likes animals and would care for them, but he wouldn't ever be caught saying they're on the same level of sapience as humans or Cybertronians. They're simple creatures at the end of the day. Still, it does disturb him a little how they're being used as a food source, regardless. Couldn't they just leave the animals alone?

Ack, he's being judgmental!]

I... try not to judge. It is not my place to dictate how other species get their food source. [If that's nature, then... well, so be it.] I must say that humans have a variety of food compared to us.

Most we could do is either drink energon flat or fizzy, and perhaps add shavings of fear or copper. Or brew it into alcohol.

[But they're still drinks in the end. Guess that's the pro when even animals are included in the menu?]
