While klling an animal for food is sure destructive for the animal, it is constructive for the humanity. It allows us to get all those proteins "for free" instead of producing them ourselves from plants like herbivores do and invest the saved energy in our intelligence to create beautiful and complex things. Whereas copulating with an animal is pure destruction. It harms the living being and leads to no babies and no emotional bond strengthening (contrary to human sex).

Eating animal is still a contradiction, because destruction is there. So I think this problem does need to be somehow overcome. But at least it's outweighed by its positive effects, unlike zoophilia.

    We literally grow food to feed to animals. And then we have to spend time hearding the animals moving. Slaughtering is a decently evolved process (I think). They don't give us the meet for free, we have to put effort to take it.
