What if they don't have a gun ?
What if they do have a gun but need money and a human has to be killed to get that money to by food.


I also look at nature and do not see quite highly intelligent big cats
having debates at becoming vegetarian to save the sentient antelope.

you also don't see them driving cars or having political debates or sex or race equality discusions.
Might is right for them, the law of the jungle.
Their brains are smaller too, perhaps at some point they may well evolve but into what.
Presently it seems that only primates have managed this step on this planet.
Which is why we are so good at destroying it as we conquere animals aren't yet inteligent enough to do this.


All life is to some extent sentient after all. The biggest reason for not
using animals as food

For some yes, for others though its the idea of not poorly or cruely treating animals with feeling which are similar to our own.
I try to do this with students but sometimes it's difficult.

we got rid of slavery for the most part too but why ?
We got what we wanted from it.

by breeding them is the greenhouse effect it can
cause from all that farting.

Most it's actually from belching in animals humans it's farting after having a vindaloo and rough cider.

New UK law:

"During a visit to Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, the Environment Secretary
said that the Government would take a significant step forwards on animal
welfare by formally recognising animals as sentient beings through a new
Animal Sentience Bill that will be introduced to Parliament tomorrow (13
May), putting animal welfare at the very heart of government policy
decision making."

If animals are to be recognised as sentient beings, shouldn't that mean
everyone must become vegetarian?
