I think that this thread assumes that animals have to suffer to be killed for consumption. I can gurantee that you feel no pain from a bullet to the head (or many other forms of euthanization). Certainly animals suffer during the slaughtering process, and I am all for ending thier suffering and killing them in a way that they feel no pain. So then I guess the question would be, "Is killing animals for our consumption humane?" Whether or not we can label it humane, it is how the world works. Before we came along this happened. It will undoubtebly happen after we are gone. Besides, even if we had the means to end the "suffering" of animals through our unnaturaly devilish consumption, I would have to wonder where our values lie as much of our own species is currently suffering.
