Ethics of eating meat.
If we are talking about factory farms, then there are 2 possible reforms or solutions that can be, and in fact are constantly being sought.
The system of slaughtering animals for consumption needs to be reformed to more humane standards, and the second being promoting veganism.
Both have their downsides. Both have their ups.
If you want to bring religion into this because if we do then that then becomes religious slaughter, then i say this:
the jewish and even the muslim faith have specific requirements for the slaughter of animals.
"And ye shall be men of holy calling unto Me, and ye shall not eat any meat that is torn in the field" (Exodus XXII:30)
In Europe and the U.S. highly stressful restraint devices are still being used.
Objective evaluation is needed.
