Rationalizations abound

response to  amwin's post Guess Who's Coming As Dinner?

"What do the animals want to do the most? What are their natural desires and can I fulfill [their desires] and grow them for food at the same time?"

Answer: Of course not. One of their most personal and inherent desires is their own well being, and that of their offspring. Obviously, killing them does not validate that-- it is a complete denial of their most basic interest in themselves.

No matter how "compassionately" farm animals are treated, sooner of later they'll be on death row. It's a pretense to suggest this is humane-- "humane slaughter" is an oxymoron.

Non-human animals are living beings-- they are not plants to be grown.

There's no way to preserve the "animal's way of life" under human control because domestication, selective breeding, and sytematic killing are artificial.

"Clean" meat has nothing to do with compassion for animals. Neither can small farms supply a nation of meat eaters.

As for the notion God put animals on earth because "they taste good",
