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.
No
Not particularly, though factory farming as it is now certainly is. Though this is being worked on. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6523187/

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
Not on its face, we're animals eating other animals - there are experts who say that eating (and in particular cooking) meat was a driving force behind our relatively rapid brain development; if we had never eaten meat, our brains might never have developed to the point that we could be on top of the food chain, or even develop ethics about eating meat to begin with - whether that's a good or bad thing is a separate argument
Anyway what's not natural and much sketchier is the profit motive of the meat industry, which will trade climate and worker safety and humane treatment for a nickel every time, and McDonald's really wants you to buy that new Big Mac with the four patties, etc. Not to get all tribal shaman on you, but the animal's death should be given more respect than that, and its remains should never be wasted
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.
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.
eh it's either us or them;p
It's obviously unethical. How can there even be a question about it? What's wrong with people? Haven't they seen the living conditions of factory-farmed animals?
Though if the meat is organic/free-range/grass-fed/no antibiotics/no growth hormones/etc., then it's debatable whether it's unethical or not. Then you can make the excuse that humans are omnivores, or that animals eat each other throughout nature. But it's debatable at best. Because just because it happens ubiquitously in nature doesn't mean it's a good thing, and unlike other animals, we have a choice. And as far as us being omnivorous, we can get by just fine without eating meat, as long as we have a source of protein, iron, etc.
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.
