I do not fear death, in view of the fact that I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. ~ Mark Twain

Only 3 people in the entire thread have actually answered the main theme question of the OP, which I will re-write for you.
"Is killing and torturing animals simply for the taste morally ok (by your own personal morals)?"
WALL OF TEXT AHEAD: inB4 TLDR - You have been warned
First; I like eating meat. A lot of people do. While we have alternatives it is simply our preference to continue consuming meat.
No, IMO it's not OK to kill and torture animals just for the taste. However...
I find killing animals for only the taste morally fine (though in most cases almost all of the animal can serve some reasonable, productive purpose).
Though, I think people should at least know and respect how the harvesting of an animal benefits us and should maximise the efficiency as so to reduce to amount of animals culled.
I find animal torture immoral (what advantage do meat-eaters stand to gain from torture btw?), however this is useless because the range of opinion on what exactly would be classified as torture would be somewhere near infinite.
Both sides of this argument should realise that this is all a matter of personal choice and morals, and that while both sides may troll, argue and attempt to reason to each other their choices, there will always be individuals that will stand firm with thier beliefs.
You can spam facts, opinions, statements and bull-blam- in some attempt to be superior, but once again the validity of the arguments is dependent on opinion, so enjoy and good luck yelling into the dark void of ignorance called the internet
To the OP: I answered your question. SATISFIED? Also, please don't ask awkward questions like that I'm sure most people even meat eaters -gasp- are not advocates for animal torture. Finally, good luck with giving up meat, enjoy standing up for your beliefs.
PS: This post, just like the 1500 others, are pretty much useless and mundane as they are infinitely disputable.
JUST A REMINDER YOUR ON AN INTERNET FORUM, AN ORGY OF DIVERSITY :P
They are tortured because it is cheaper to torture them in small enclosures and inhumane methods of execution and captivity than not too.
That's the opposite of an awkward question in my opinion, because it's such a simple answer.
But can I ask why you have no problem with killing? (Because it won't be missed by 'friends and family' and once it's dead, it's dead, it can't feel anymore?)
And thanks for being polite with your post :)
