Consider the possibility that there's a serious conflict of interest involved, in having people who want to eat animals being the sole determiners of the morality of doing so.Not a valid comparison at all. You are talking about animals like they are humans. Like they understand what is going on around them. As if they have the power of humans to infer and imagine from what is happening around them. To feel fear and apprehension. The truth is, they are ignorant of that. And ignorance is bliss.
Would you still feel that way if the choice wasn't yours? What, for example, if the government decided 70 years is old enough, and a team of qualified professionals threw you onto a truck for your "painless euthanasia " against your will?
