yeah, everything Matthew said. Besides which, there's
the question of what it does to people. Macaulay
accused puritans of opposing bear-baiting not only
because they didn't like animals suffering but because
they didn't like people getting pleasure out of it. In
which they were dead right; killing something for fun
rather than food is pretty perverted - sort of like
making your own snuff video.
Don't believe in halal killing either, or any other
that causes unnecessary suffering, especially in the
name of religious belief, which may not be as
irrelevant to some as it is to me but is surely
irrelevant to the animal.
