To everyone who keeps bringing up that creatures eating each other is simply nature, the way things have always worked for eons:

We are not simply just eating animals.

In nature there is an equilibrium; every prey has a chance to escape. If an species cannot avoid predators, that species ceases to exist.

In our world there is no such merciful release.

We force millions of creatures to be born and live their entire lives in cramped squalid conditions only to be butchered off, sometimes for no good reason at all. [0][1]

That’s not nature. That is a fucked up hell.
