If you had to kill another human how would you do it? You should follow that same thought when killing an animal. That would be killing it "humanely."
Killing is one thing, which is pretty universal, but what about living conditions? I'm not sure a cow would thrive if I treated it as if it was human. I mean, what does 'equal' mean? To a cucumber plant?
