If a world exists where murder isn't wrong, then it's not wrong on that world. It's only wrong to the outsider looking in and visiting that world.

Yeah, sure. The most ethical decision might be to source our food pain free, cruelty free. The practical realities of our situation may not allow us the most ethical or even any ethical resolution on that count, though.
So we negotiate. Try to do some less shitty thing. We may, for example, have to do something that can cause pain. So, if we’re going to do that- we can at least do it with that pain in mind. Hence the niche, which may in fact err on the side of caution where no pain exists.
I could point out to a customer that the usual killing method is no more or less likely to cause more or less pain than these other processes- but I wouldn’t- because Id never see them again.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
