Letting animals be tortured and slaughtered en masse just to satisfy your trivial gustatory preferences is acting as if you can just cause as much suffering as you like.
Are you unfamiliar with the industry standards in factory farms and slaughterhouses? If you are then theres no way you can honestly believe that eating a burger does not cause harm. Does it not harm the cow to slit her throat and let her bleed out?
the animal is already dead. all the harm took place long before I decided what to eat.
You do realize that they only kill the animal because people like you pay to eat their flesh, right?
that's not causal.
Please explain to me how you think economics works then. If everyone were to stop buying meat then would these people be slaughtering the cows for free?
