If it's ethically ok to kill and eat animals, why isn't it ok to torture them? Are they meat property or are they things with rights?

If it's ethically ok to kill some prisoners, why isn't it ok to eat them?

Is painlessly killing and eating a person humane?

I think animals must be prisoners, since prisoners can't be tortured, and therefore are bad meat.

The second part of your statement does not follow what I wrote. I was saying human prisoners are bad meat because they are usually diseased. It is quite possible that food animals are kept healthier than human prisoners, if only because diseased food animals are killed and thrown away. Be tricky to do that with diseased human prisoners.

I agree that our food animals are generally prisoners. If, however, you & I take control of the universe and decide that animals should not be prisoners, what do we do with the billions fo food animals currently being fed & maintained by humans? How do we phase out the practice of keeping food animals without kiling them? Are we being reasonable if we declare that no new animals may be bred for food, but that we will go ahead & slaughter & eat the animals that are currently in reserve?

it did not come before what you wrote!


the existing food animals will be elected to the executive branch, where they will serve the public interest more ably than the alternatives.
