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

RE: How do religious people justify raising and slaughtering animals for food?
We had to invent agriculture to survive, which -is- a method of exploiting autotrophism.  Ofc I'm talking ethics, because we were talking ethics....but moving the goalpost doesn't help.  "God" fucked the pooch on that one too, if we wish to believe in such things.

We came into this world without clothing, without shelter, without sufficient means of feeding ourselves. Without the ability to hedge against the various diseases, injuries, and illnesses that would plague us directly as a result of seeking out the fisrt three, and some..even, that are unique to us.

This, Not..is "the design". Do you consider it unimproved? Is there some "but what if" that would make an improvement in our ability to feed ourselves, itself already improved by our own hands..somehow, not an improvement?

More fundamentally, this "survival" business sounds like a metric of evolutionary biology, not divine power and ability...pretty sure I already handled that. Unless we're discussing an incompetent creator, "survival" is planned obsolescence.
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!
