Of course, as a result, "ethical meat" becomes an option unless one realizes that killing when you don't need to is killing when you don't need to, no matter if it occurs in a slaughterhouse or in a mobile slaughter operation or in a backyard. If you want to reduce suffering, there are indeed ways to do that.

In some sense, of course, many (perhaps most) humans don't know right from wrong. Two-thirds believe that nonhumans have as much "right to live free of suffering" as humans, but vivisection, food-industry enslavement and slaughter, and other practices that cause severe, prolonged suffering are legal (49).

Like when they're about to be, say, slaughtered? Not to mention the reality that there is so much more involved in being bred for slaughter than pain, and none of that is addressed. And of course, the reality that all of this involves using sentient nonhumans when that's unnecessary isn't even considered.

The suffering in this world that occurs at the hand of humankind and is entirely intentional, is disgusting and dispiriting. I choose not to watch videos or bombard myself with images of suffering. So I do what I can do, beginning of course with being vegan. And when I don't exercise I am miserable mentally and physically.

Of course, Lobo is missing the point entirely. Of course, Lobo is missing the point entirely. If any "drastic measures" are employed, they are to remove animals from suffering, not to impose our dietary choices on others. And of course what we do is about the issues. The HSUS isn't even anti-hunting ! We live our issues.

Cain=farmer=evil murderer; Abel=slaughtered animals=victim/good son. Of course, she teaches Jake the prayer that makes killing the animal all better. The fact remains, however, that if you don't need to kill anyone to survive, no amount of storytelling and mythmaking (or myth borrowing/co-opting) around that slaughter excuses it.

The meat industry is inherently destructive and inhumane, there is no way to make it otherwise, and much of the harm it does to ecosystems is by inflicting suffering and death on billions of nonhuman animals, farmed and free-living, each year. But no LGU has yet put its meat-industry courses on the course of ultimate extinction.
