Respect is a human concept. It isn't in nature and it's just to make people like you feel better about the fact that life means you gotta kill something to keep living. At least food is delicious.

The respect isnt to soothe the animals feelings.

The respect is to make sure you dont forget that the animal is also alive and feeling, and you still need to treat it well even though it will become food.

Its to keep forward in your mind that animal abuse is still abuse, even if the animal is meant for your dinner.

Respect is, also, abundant in nature. For starters, you and I arent aliens. But respect is an almost required aspect of most social species communal interactions. Corvids, other primates, snakes in heat, bees, etc.
