Without weighing in too much on this (I'm ok with meat personally, assuming a human execution and a happy life for the animal)...

... the difference is we can choose not to.

"Humane"; unless you are talking about some kind of 1:1 sacrifice system

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant 'a humane execution'. Requiring a human execution before eating meat is a little extreme.

hahaha, man, I need a new keyboard. Yes. Humane. I'm not demanding a human sacrifice. I'm just going to leave the typo up for posterity, hopefully more folks get a kick out of it.
