As long as done humanely the slaughtering of animals shouldn't be a problem. We need to eat and ingest protein, fat etc... and meat seems like a great way to do that. Unfortunately it has been known that not all animals are treated properly and this is a disgrace. We need organizations that protect these animals from pain and suffering but they should be well organised, rational and most importantly...not insane.
I do see a problem with eating meat and I will gladly state it.
It is not always possible to know what has happened to the animal I am eating therefore the only rational thing to do is avoid it as a precautionary thing, not because I feel it is not moral. If I know for sure the animal I eat lived a reasonable life I'm more than happy to gobble down a nice sandwich with prosciutto and salami and all of that great stuff!
Just keep the animal in mind because after all animals are our brethren.
