I had someone say to me today that "meat is not killing for pleasure." Of course he said this after I said that meat is just killing for pleasure because meat is unnecessary.

In our world (at least in North America) we don't need to kill animals to eat. There are plenty of options available. This would seem to me to make eating meat a choice. We don't need to eat meat to survive anymore.

When we choose to do things that are no longer necessary we do it because we like to do it, because it makes us feel good. For our own pleasure.

Maybe we aren't doing the killing ourselves, or finding the act of killing pleasurable, but we are certainly getting pleasure from the death of an animal.
