I think using animals for food is an ethical thing to do, but we've got to do it right. We've got to give those animals a decent life and we've got to give them a painless death. We owe the animal respect.

About This Quote

When you eat food that came from an animal, you are honoring them for their contribution to the world. You are giving them the respect that they deserve. The problem is that just because they are given a decent life, it does not mean that it was painless. The use of animals for food has been an ethical problem for centuries, but people have always found ways around this.

They have always found ways to kill the animals in an easy manner so that they do not feel pain. There are laws against this however, so if you are caught doing it you can be punished.
