    I think the ethical argument is the strongest.

    “animals getting killed is part of the natural cycle”

    The 80 billion animals a year we kill are in farms and not part of the natural cycle (96% of the land mammals by weight are human or farmed animals) but if you meant to say there is wild animals that kill other animals and that makes it morally correct then what do you think of lions raping each other? Is that now also morally justified?

        Okay take my same argument but replace rape with killing their own babies which lions do.

          different species have different lifecycles. why shouldn’t a lion kill its young? theer is good reason for people not to. but the same doesn’t apply to food.
