I think the vast majority of people on this thread are simply saying that given the choice, when an animal is killed, it is more preferable that it is killed with less suffering, as opposed to more suffering. I know I've probably said that like 3 times now but my god, I just can't understand why people have such a problem accepting it. It has nothing to do with wrestling with a guilty conscious. Nothing to do with racial prejudices. Nothing to do with vanity. And nothing to do with whatever else has been suggested that I may have missed in amongst all the assumptions on this thread. Just simple common sense, surely???
