    “Killing humanely” is just about minimising abuse, not nullifying it. Who decides when the abuse is small enough to be called humane? The slaughterhouses marketing their slaughtering as humane.

      Yes, it is about minimizing abuse, reducing suffering. There is no nullification of suffering, existing necessarily entails some amount of it, but that’s no reason not to try. I agree that veganism is the more ethical decision, and that the people who profit the most from the suffering can’t be trusted to define what is and isn’t abuse.
