Is it alright for an even stronger species to kill humans?

Kudos to you if you know where this questions comes from. :)

Stronger in terms of overall intelligence and physical capabilities.

You mean like a gorilla or like aliens?

Gorillas are definitely stronger than us.

Last night I had a dream that a hamburger was eating ME! Will the prophecy come to pass? This I cannot answer.

Probably about the level that cattle are at right now.

Too little meat on us for that probably.
More like dogs.

well that was disturbing...but it makes sense. I personally think the surest sign of intelligent life in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us yet. (yeah it's a ripoff, but I belive it)

I hope you mean a more intelligent species and not a species that are physically stronger. I wouldn't say it's alright, being human (duh), but then again we never asked farm animals if it was alright if we can kill them. :)

It would be whacked if aliens farmed humans for meat. :p

[EDIT] My roommate told me about a website called manbeef.com that sells human meat. WTH??? Is that for real? I'm a bit disturbed to find out myself.

There are no more intelligent being then us, in this solar system. if we get too hungry, we can alway eat each other up. like in war, theirs plenty of meat to go around from defeated soldier. hmm, i guess we don't do it because there's can food being supplied :) but believe me, it can happen when one is too hungry, one must do whatever it takes to survive.

Sure, the stronger/smarter/better species always beat the weaker ones, we shouldn't be any exception.

Are you talking about the show "Prey" that used to be on NBC a while ago?

Yes, its perfectly fine! In fact, at the last galactic meeting of Bone-crunching, Ridiculously Advanced Evil Aliens (or BRAEA as they like to be known), Chairman Zod the Merciless cheerfully passed the ruling that it is perfectly fine to kill anything and anyone weaker and less intelligent than yourself.

This is all true! Im not taking the pi*s, honest!

It's not right to kill intelligent life, any intelligent life. Why not, one may ask? Well, man values his own sentience, he believes that he has the right to exist. And insofar as he perceives that same sentience, that same image of himself in other living things, he values likewise the right for that life to exist.
