That's a bit extreme, murder an cannibalism I can understand the connection with, but rape? I might be missing something but I'm pretty sure nobody forces intercourse on animals destined for consumption.
As for murder and cannibalism, there have been historical instances where that was the case when they ran out of food (low-hanging fruit). I would wager that given a grave enough scenario, people will be grilling up Neighbour Bob to stay alive. Zombie apocalypse time might just mean long pork's on the menu.
Look, extreme situations are not our day to day. i wouldn't judge someone who murdered in self defense for example.
As for rape, did you ever think about how we have so many cows, chickens, pigs, etc?
If you want to eat a cow today you need to murder her, but if you want to eat a cow tomorrow too, you first need to breed her, and nobody is waiting for nature so they either make a bull rape them or more commonly, they jack a bull off, take the semen and insert it into the female cow (not in a pleasent way, not that there is one)
So yeah, rape is an even bigger part than murder in the meat industry.
