Should it be illegal to kill animals for food?

[afleitch]

It’s entirely ‘moral’ to kill animals for food. Those who consider it immoral or amoral need to give consideration to our other food source; plants. You’re still killing a plant when you tear it from the ground and eat it. You cannot feed 7+billion people on plants alone (or synthesised funghi); we simply don’t have the arable land available or the irrigation required. The only way to feed the world without killing animals is to lower the human population artificially so that we can be sustained. And you all know what that means and that would be immoral. Of course all the animals we breed for food would be a drain on land and resources. So they too would have to be culled as if they were left to their own devices would damage vegetation as we have done away with natural predators in agricultural societies in order to protect livestock.
