You don't fault a lion for killing a gazelle, why blame humans for doing what nature intended them to do? For me a life without meat would be so miserable, I cannot even imagine it. When did human culture start to develop? When they started eating meat. Plant eating animals spend their whole day in search for food and eating (since it takes a lot more food to get the same nourishment from plants). So when early hominids started to eat meat they had free time. They started thinking, their brains developed.
Killing animals for food is not inhumane, it is necessary for our health and survival. Important is that animals are being raised in the right conditions and treated well.

Hans, if you'd read through the last few pages, you would see that we are not having a struggle between right and wrong. We decided some time ago that we all have the right and ability to make our own decisions. Now we are discussing our beliefs in an adult manner, asking questions and answering with our own opinions. We are learning about each other's positions and beliefs.
You repeated several points that we have already discussed. I don't think we need to go back and repeat our answers.
