> I think that’s quite a straw man. In order to say we don’t require meat You're missing my point. I'm not arguing for/against eating meat or whether its necessary, just observing that there is an economic demand for meat which is unlikely to change in the near future. To supply this demand you need to kill animals. I'm arguing that current ethics on killing animals are that way because of otherwise we cannot get meat. Once we get clean meat and you don't need to kill animals to get meat, societal ethics will rapidly shift towards killing animals no longer being ok.
