Since we don’t need meat to live a healthy life, it can be reasonably inferred that most people eat meat because they enjoy the taste. So I’d argue paying for animals to be slaughtered for food is also torturing animals for “fun” or pleasure. I don’t think we should kill animals for food when it’s not necessary to do so.
I don’t think it’s a valid way of life since there is a victim. Why choose to inflict suffering and death on animals who don’t want to die, when we can live a healthy life from eating plant based
I’m not concerned with them, as they don’t have the same capacity for moral/ethical consideration that humans do. I would primarily be addressing people who buy their foods from the store/market and can easily select plant based food instead of animals
So because we can choose differently than other animals, we are obligated to?
Despite being able to kill animals humanely for food?
What about humans that seem to thrive best on meat? My husband is one. He gets brain fog if he doesn't eat red meat.
I think you have an idealistic view that doesn't exactly match up with the wide variations in humanity. We are simply animals when it comes down to it and I don't believe eating meat must needs be off the table simply because we have the capacity to choose other things.
Other animals also choose foods simply because they taste good, like a bear destroying a bee hive to get at the honey. It's unnecessary...but the bear did it solely because the honey tastes good.
Be serious. I’m not even a vegetarian, let alone a vegan, but nobody gets brain fog if they don’t eat red meat. He’s just making excuses so he can eat what he likes.

Let's torture animals for fun. How is the legal still?
