Ra's Statements About 2D Entities

5. Bob Comis, former pig and sheep farmer. 
"When I think about the debate surrounding the ethics of eating meat, I often wonder why it is so difficult for meat eaters to admit that killing animals (to eat their flesh) is unethical? Truly, I cannot think of one sound ethical argument in favor of slaughtering animals for their meat."

This is what I don't understand here at B4 and never have, no matter how many counterpoints are raised. Why are so many members here in favor of this? I am not pointing the finger at anyone, but I am completely flummoxed over this. For consciously aware people who are compassionate, as the people here at B4 are, how is it possible to deny that killing animals for food is unethical? How is it possible to look into an animal's eyes and think this is okay?
