Human meat consumption typically comes from hunting of prey animals or from domesticated livestock. In the former case, a .30-06 through the heart is a much nicer way to go than to be devoured alive by wolves or coyotes or to starve due to overpopulation. In the latter case, the animal is literally genetically predisposed to this life, and the entire lineage would die out if people did not eat them. I mean, I get that you think your position is kinder to animals, and there's a certain intuitive value to that position. But ceasing consumption of livestock would, in effect, amount to genocide.
