IT IS ETHICAL

For example you could say that if you kill a cow you are depriving it of it's existence, which could have being a good existence, so why deprive it of that because you want to eat some meat when there are other options.

The counter-argument is that this cow would not have existed if we had not made any plan in advance that at some point we would kill it and would also sell the meat for consumption, because obviously it costs a lot to rear a cow, and we can only meet that cost if the cow is killed. In conclusion i do not see anything bad in rearing and killing animals for the purpose of consumption.

Sort:  

I believe that maybe feeding them freely and killing them in a manner they do not suffer from pain could be more or less ethical, the problem I see it's when animals are suffering, so you are giving life to an animal just to suffer. Thanks for joining the contest!

Lol i understand you, thanks for your contribution

@dayjee, your first paragraph mention why kill a cow in the name of eating meat when there are option

Please is there any option that doesn't involve killing animals.

That was an instance.
