so if you think there is no justification in making animals suffer for the good of humans, then we should all be vegetarians.
hmmm. i don't think you're vvegetarian.

I don't know why you think I'm not vegetarian, I actually used to be. You are right now I'm not anymore and the reason I can be that without being inconsistent is:
a) I only eat meat that I know where it comes from and that the animals lived there what I call a good life, without suffering (on that very alike to the one they would have in nature), and a good death (nothing like those industries where 300 cows a day are slaughtered-by the way very well explained in the book "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser)
b)killing is not making suffer the animal in question (I agree maybe the rest of the group....)
c)even if you say that killing is making suffer, there is one fondamental difference in the case of animals for research they often die for nothing (they become just start of a statistic...), in case of animals for food there is a direct use almost every part of the animal is used (their death never becomes worthless).
d) in australian standards (and from what I hear also in US standards) I'm vegetarian: I eat meat about once a month (if not less).
