I'm a vegetarian, and while not vegan, I take care to reduce animal products to a minimum, but IMO ethical meat exists. If a farmer has a few chickens running around, and he slaughters one for consumption, that's fine with me. It would only be unethical if you hold all (animal) life sacred, a very difficult position. It's the scale and means of meat production that makes meat consumption unethical and immoral.
