It's about the scope of the question.

Eating meat has been natural to humans and their ancestors for about 3 million years. But we have never processed, presented and eaten meat in the way and on the scale that we are doing it today.

The downvotes on this are both funny and telling. I like it so its good. Asking if its bad is bad.

I'm actually starting to see the point in a weird way. If they think about as critically as a dog or a cat maybe it doesn't make sense to hold their decisions to a higher moral standard. We don't call it immoral when non-human animals rape other non-human animals because they aren't capable of the level of thought required to conceptualize moral decisions. But, uh, neither are significant amounts of humans apparently.

Do you think cats are immoral? They will most certainly suffer if not die if fed a vegetarian diet.

It’s not a stretch for someone to think animals eating animals is not a moral issue and it’s not a moral issue for humans, another animal, to do the same.

If you hold humas to a higher standard then I applaud you for your conviction but I think this survey shows we aren’t really above animals

I'm not entirely sure, but I have heard the argument that we kill everything we eat to live.

I have a milk cow and it dies of old age. Would it be morally wrong for me to eat it? Just throwing the meat away is morally right?

It's not a question on how the animals are treated. It's just the morality of eating meat.

It's food. We have to eat to live.

My wife, who is a vegetarian, doesn't consider eating meat immoral. She thinks that it is a personal decision. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
