Could you kill that cow/pig/etc. yourself to get that steak/sausage/etc. you're eating?
If you couldn’t bear to kill the animal yourself, how do you justify in your mind the fact that you eat it? In order to eat it, you are requiring it to be slaughtered. If you hunt, would have no problem killing the animals, etc. then it makes sense for you to eat them. I have a hard time understanding how people who couldn’t kill the animal themselves can still eat them though… out of sight out of mind maybe?
