A tiger has every right to kill an antelope as a human has to kill a cow. The real ethical problem for me lies not in the killing of animals, but rather the conditions they live in prior to execution, and the method of execution. There is a way to ethically consume meat, and it is non industrial and requires each person to do the kill so as to not be alienated from the significance of killing an animal to feed oneself.
This is correct, but not how you mean it. The way to ethically consume meat is to be starving and have no other alternative.
Or to grow it without a central nerve system.
I like this idea on paper though in my imagination it looks horrible. But I do think it’s the ultimate solution. My biggest concern is that if we do not abandon Anthropocentrism we will continue to commit crimes against animals that are much worse than killing them for food (which I don’t think it’s wrong as I’ve stated here) . Like keeping them in cages, or using them for experiments that often don’t really replicate on humans. Etc.
