Animals die for your food
I think animals are slaughtered/killed for you food because they don't die of old age then we eat them. I am not advocating though a vegetarian lifestyle for everyone as I am not for the moment one myself, but I surely think about this suffering very often when I choose to eat meat.
The question is though: Do you also think about it when eating lettuce or bread? Animals die for those things too, for many foods at a much higher rate than responsibly sourced meat. Just ask yourself, for example, how many rodent parents get poisoned for your plant-based foods, how many of their babies starve to death as a result? How many animals suffer and die as a result of red tide that in term is a result of plant-based food production practices? The more I look into it, the more clear it becomes that food sourcing is many times more important than any other consideration when it comes to animal suffering and death.
