Animals receive and give very little mercy or kindness in nature. In fact, nature is capable of stunning brutality - eg newly "crowned" male lions kill off the cubs of the old male.

Humans have a capacity of reasoning about their actions, which places a certain responsibility on us to do better than nature. But where do you draw the line?

Ultimately we shouldn't eat animals at all - we should eat lab grown meat. But lab grown meat is still far away. So what do we do in the mean time? Ban all meat consumption? Is that even realistic?

Those with access to all the makings for a healthy plant-based diet should stop paying for animal products. It's that simple.
