I have no idea where you drew that conclusion from. Humans are animals, so why shouldn't we eat meat?

No, I don't. Where does it say he believes that? Do you have a source for me to look at? I had no idea he believed that, but I guess we can't agree on everything.
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."
