Do you find eating meat unethical?

Kind of. Idk I find that a lot of people are willing to eat meat, but if they had a duck or a rabbit sitting right in front of them and someone was about to put a knife to their neck, they'd instinctively want to stop it. Which is interesting to me. I still eat meat out of convenience but do intend to go vegeterian as soon as I move out.

Not, not inherently. Mass slaughtering / meat production are. (I still eat meat tho, because I will absolutely pay for the convenience for not slaughtering my own animals.) People before mass industrialization and indigenous people had been eating meat sustainably and ethically for millennia, but now modern white vegans suddenly think eating meat is the problem because they've watched DOCUMENTARIES! Simply consuming meat isn't the problem. It's industrial capitalism, babey

No, but production certainly can be. There's lots of unneccesary suffering with mass production which also diminishes the nutritional and culinary value.

O yes! There are exceptions of course. If you are an Inuit or a Tiger, OR if you are person who doesn't need to eat meat but you really don't know any better because of your upbringing etc. etc. and everybody knows, you have a good heart. If you knew the truth, you would stop eating meat or working towards that goal but for everyone else, it is unethical.

I'm on the fence about it. I'm aware factory farms (here in the US) keep livestock in some pretty inhumane conditions. But I also love eating meat.

Lab grown meat? No. Meat of an slaughtered animal? I gotta say it's kinda disturbing when I think about an animal being slaughtered so that I can fill my stomach with its meat. I'm not a vegan but I might try it when I get a bit rich. In this part of the world mostly rich people can afford to be vegan. Furthermore you'd be a laughing stock if you announced that you're a vegan! Then again this is the Third World and I don't expect much from the society.

I find eating meat not unethical. But I find some of the industrial methods of keeping animals and killing them unethical. And I find some of the purposes and reasons for killing animals unethical.
