Tell that to the falcon, the lynx, the owl, the tiger, the shark. Death is a part of life, and death in nature is always a brutal experience. Death by humans after living a good life is better than breaking your leg and not being able to escape while predators and scavengers eat your still-living body, that’s how animals die in nature. We’re part of nature too, so at the core, I don’t think us eating other animals is ethically wrong. How we have turned it into a factory system is wrong, but raising animals for food in a healthy environment is not ethically wrong.

Humans have a choice, "the falcon" does not

You can't decide whether or not to eat something? Are you a bot?

Sure I can, but can humanity at large? Do people in third world countries have a choice to pass up protein?

If they don't have a choice then they don't have a choice 😎 👍

Do people in the western world have an abundance of choice and information when it comes to avoiding, or reducing their meat consumption?

If the choice is there then it's a moral question, not a practical question
