People have been eating meat for 20,000 years or more.
People have not been tormenting animals for pleasure for 20,000 years.
Eating meat doesn't make one indifferent or disrespect life.
Someone stunning (i.e. - putting an electrified steel bolt through the brain of) and then butchering a cow is not the same thing as throwing a live, unsedated kitten on a grill.
The people that work at the beef factory did not torture that kitten. The people that are butchering animals for food aren't inherently disrespectful and indifferent. One very FUCKED UP piece of shit tortured that cat FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF BEING A JACKASS, and don't blame the death of cows, pigs, chickens, goats, buffalo, deer, quail, or what have you that are killed and butchered in as humane a way as possible on the torment of that kitten.
You are effectively trying to say that because humans can walk, there is water on Mars.
