Is it Morally Permissible to Kill and Eat Animals?

Many people believe that if a human is starving to death, then it is morally permissible to kill and eat an animal. But given that we in the industrialized world are not starving to death and it has been shown that humans do not need to eat animals to survive, is it still morally permissible to kill and eat an animal? I highly recommend watching “Is is OK To Kill Animals For Food” and “Non-Human Animals”.The essay is to be argumentative. Take a stand and be sure to provide arguments for your opinions and try to persuade the reader that you are right. Provide arguments for why your opinion is correct and why the opposing argument is wrong.
