Justify killing animals for nutrition when...

1. you don't have to (beans/rice, eggs, dairy, gluten, etc. provide enough protein),
2. you accept Darwinism and the conclusion that humans aren't ``special'' aside from their abilities (and the corollary that ability doesn't determine one's right to live), and
3. you hold empathy as a reasonable virtue

maybe in US/yurop, but in many parts of the world (Africa, Aus/NZ, SE Asia, Sth America) cattle are kept predominantly on grass.
Some are fattened up in feedlots with corn and stuff- but the animal welfare is damn good in a feedlot.

Seeing as we are on /prague/, the worst thing that can happen to a cow incidentally is for Ahmed or Chaim to get their grubby hands on them. Kosher and Halal often do the old slit the throat thing but also kick, stab and otherwise injure the animals.
Most normal slaughterhouses here in Aus + NZ + Indonesia (after we gave them a spanking about being cruel) are pretty professional joints with captive bolt stunning and treat the animals nicely. Less stress means better grade meat as well. It also takes less time and less fuss.
I know that in america, some autistic lady who could practically understand cows helped improve them to be cow friendly. They practically walk to the slaughter after she's helped improve things (lighting, making races narrower, etc etc).
