Should We Eat Animals?

Throughout history, mankind has always had the advantage of being an omnivore. We are able to have a choice of what kind of food we eat whether it is animals or plants. The question is however should we eat animals? My answer to that is yes. Animals have been a large part of our diets for centuries from hunting and gathering societies to today where we domestically raise our livestock. However, after reading "This Little Piggy Dragged to Market" my stance on should we eat animals hasn't changed but rather we should focus on how these animals are killed. This article brings up very good points on the barbaric ways animals are killed today and how there are no steps in place to improve it. Animals are being dragged,chocked, and even have the limbs chopped off with no regard to their suffering. I believe we should have respect for our food and have them humanely slaughtered. However, I believe with proper regulation, we can achieve a balance of humanely slaughtering animals and being able to eat meat with a good conscience.
