It is immoral to cause unnecessary suffering. Most people would agree on that, at least to some extent.
That's why we hate trophy hunting, including you, because it is unnecessary, no other reason. Someone is killing an animal for no good reason. And in most of the developed world, you don't need to eat them either. You like eating them, but you don't need to. So it starts to look the same. It causes unnecessary suffering.
See above.
Yeah but there is another side to this , many animals are raised just for the purpose of supplying meat , without that purpouse they wouldn't have existed ( I'm not reffering to the species ) , that puts a sign question above the imorality of killing animals .
So, if I cause something to exist, then anything I do to it at that point is acceptable??
Or if not, what exactly is your point because I'm not getting it.
(also note I used subjective wrong. Yes, I think he is saying, and I know I am saying that it is subjectively immoral, because it depends on the circumstances. We are not stating it objectively).
Another side note:
I ate meat. I've made all these argument myself in the past.
We raise them for this purpose.
We are omnivorous by nature.
I've killed my own meat. I grew up on a farm. We slaughtered our own chickens and turkeys, and had our pigs and rabbits slaughtered.
None of these arguments stand up to any scrutiny once you actually look at them.
