Re or even how they are killed xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx it does to some Simon, me included. That animals are specifically farmed for slaughter, which sadly is what a lot of what we eat has been, and not in the best natural environments in many cases. Logically and spiritually the rearing of animals to kill and eat is immoral but IF it has to be, then I think it not only behoves us to give the animal as good a life as possible but their end is as painless, physically and mentally as humanly possible, which it can be to a certain degree, but which could be even more so. Why would it not be possible to inject the animal with something which sends them to sleep and carry out the killing process while the animal is asleep. Some religionists think or are told God put animals on this earth for our benefit, which can't be true as animals were here billions of years before man, even in his earliest form, so unless God intended a very long wait for mankind to benefit, I dismiss the religionists' belief. Most if not all animals are sentient beings, and given the opportunity, can become very much so. If you believe in survival of the soul after physical death, such is not limited to the human form alone.
