We in the modern world don't need to kill anymore to survive.
We have the choice, so why choose to kill an animal just for culinary pleasures?
Instead have more R&D into creating meat like substances that doesn't require to kill an animal and doesn't require such a huge carbon footprint - and we are getting there slowly.
And that's the mission of Ethan Brown (Beyond Meat founder) - he said you won't be able to change the culture of meat eating, but if you offer people something that's as good or better and cheaper then people will switch.
Again, the main question really is why inflict pain and kill an animal if you don't need to?
We are not hunter gatherers anymore.
The above comment excludes people who still need to eat meat to survive.

This is the very thing I completely disagree with. All living things die, and almost all animals die by being killed by other animals.
Why is it "inhumane" when this killing is done by a human with a sharp knife or electrocution, but it is "humane" when done by a wolf tearing at their throat, or by insects eating them alive?
And euthanasia of people is controversial for many complex reasons, but it is relatively well accepted by most secularists for cases of extreme pain, at least, which is how animals normally die.
