Life eats life. I'm not going to try to convince a lion to not eat a gazelle, and I'm not going to try and convince a human not to eat the thing its been hunting and eating for 10 thousand years.

I agree that factory farming is terrible. If we are going to eat an animal, its best if we raise it and kill it ourself in the quickest and most painless way possible, to ensure happiness and health during its life and mitigate as much suffering. It also forces us to face the act of death itself, and hopefully be grateful of the animal for the meals it provides.

All things die. As someone who went through "dying", I can say with some confidence that dying sucks, and you will suffer when you go through it. Whether its being shot, stabbed, strangled, poisoned, or dying of the complications of old age. You are going to suffer unless you're doped to high heaven on morphine or something similar.

Are vegans going about using opioids to euthanize factory farmed cows in mass? No? Then I guess they're going to suffer, and I'm not letting them suffer in vain.

THAT would be unethical.

Unlike lions, people have the choice not to eat another animal.
