MODERATORS
This seems like a lot of work (both practically to do this and mentally to make this argument) when you could just...not eat meat? Seems a lot easier and more ethical.
The easiest path is not necessarily the best or right path. Though I do agree that in the context of modern industrial meat production the more ethical thing to do is not consume meat. But that is not the same thing as saying that eating meat is wrong, or immoral. The immoral thing is the way the animals suffer before being killed.
Killing animals that don't need to be killed is also wrong. And in a modern society, there is no requirement for us to eat meat, as we can live full lives on wholly plant-based diets.
Agreed! That's why I'd only kill an animal when I'm hungry.
