As man is really the "highest" animal on this planet, it only stands to reason that we should be able to kill and eat other animals, if desired... Man's tools to kill or harvest animals are in general much more efficient and humane at killing than the rest of nature itself. Most of us abhor cruelty to animals and wasting of animals, but take an honest look at nature and you'll conclude that meat eating is just simply the natural order of things. And mankind does it "better" than most.
