Killing is killing, deer, carrots, nothing on this planet lives except at the expense of another life. That's what makes earth a special kind of hell.

 The only thing that can ever exist is our experience of right here/right now.  The universe does not think of itself as the center, neither should we. Hmm..or perhaps because we think of ourselves as the center the universe does. Either way the universe cannot kill itself.
