If you don't like animal cruelty but aren't vegan you are a hypocrite 🤷
Consuming animal products doesn't inherently lead to animal cruelty. It's the fact that the vast majority of these products are produced through factory farming, which has little regard for the animals, in the search for the most efficient manner of farming possible. This does lead to animal cruelty. On the other hand, it is definitely possible to consume animal products ethically, if they are raised on a small family farm which genuinely cares and takes time for their animals, and doesn't take every shortcut possible to produce more.
So I could cut your throat without being cruel as long as we are on a small farm?
If you are humanely killing the animals, then yes. Eating meat is a part of human nature, one that I personally object from but still one that isn't immoral to act on.
spreading your genes without consent is also part of human nature and just like killing animals, it can't be done humanely.
