How do religious people justify raising and slaughtering animals for food?

November 29, 2017 at 4:47 am (This post was last modified: November 29, 2017 at 4:51 am by Alexmahone.)

I'm an atheist and a non-vegetarian but I can clearly see that raising and slaughtering animals for food is immoral. This is partly because of the appalling conditions under which most of these animals are raised and the fact that we are killing them for our benefit.

Do religious folks agree? If not, how do they ethically defend non-vegetarianism?
