I eat meat every day. I love meat and feel no need to explain or justify this enjoyable legal practice. PETA and other humbugs can go fuck themselves.
Do I love other animals? Hell no; I don't even love human beings as a species. I'm very fond of my pet dogs and would have to be very hungry indeed to eat them,but eat them I would in extremis. (just as they would eat me)
Do I care about the suffering of say chickens and pigs? Yes, in that I dislike any kind of gratuitous cruelty. However, I'm not sufficiently concerned to stop eating them.
