The current meat industry is not evil in my view. You have your choice, cheap and abundant food or vice versa. All of that food is used on some hungry guy.
It is not evil to kill something you need for food. Especially when, if the papers are reversed, animals do the same thing.
It would actually be evil if the meat was wasted since then it would have been killed pointlessly. That's not the case most of the time though.
Thank you for your comments. Killing for food is not under discussion. Kiling for sport is and so is the manner in which animals reared as a food supply are treated in life and death.
