I don't know that your first paragraph means much, baraka. Animals eat and use other animals, and some animals do so in absolutely grotesque, horrible and painful ways. If you're going to eat meat, something is going to die. That doesn't make it inhumane to kill it. That just means...that's how you get meat to eat. We are equipped with a lot of tools that allow us to kill things quickly and painlessly and still eat them. We are also equipped with tools to allow the animals we do eat to not live in painful or unhealthy environments. I think, since I think humans are supposed to eat meat, that if you do those two things, it's perfectly humane.
If you're a staunch vegetarian, we're really not going to bridge that gap, though, so it's not really relevant to this conversation.
