Why would you slaughter humans? They have more value to society than meat, such as in economic output. Non-human animals have no such utility, that's why they're used for meat. (Well, I guess draft animals have been used in farming, so that's extra utility they have, but we have industrialization for that now.)

I feel like I just stumbled into an Amazon executive team meeting.
I'm only being half serious, but it's true that not everyone shares the same ethical beliefs about animals as vegans do.
Vegans even differ in ethical beliefs. Some of them belief animals should be spared from the cruelty of life all together and wish them all to vanish.

Some have more love for animals and just hate the cruelty of mass farming, but become ethical hunters sometimes.

That’s how a large part of the world thinks though.
