So, even if animals are killed painlessly and raised for food in humane ways, it is wrong to kill them. Consequently, the killing of some animals for food, if done painlessly, is not morally objectionable. They, too, may be killed and eaten on the view under consideration, provided, of course, that they are killed painlessly.
