Killing does not equal abuse, ie torture. I have no doubt many slaughterhouses do, but that’s not my fault–its my shitty government’s fault for not protecting the animals and funding efforts to do so.
I still have to feed my cat what it needs. I’m a vegetarian, but biologically I’m not and neither is my cat. Unlike my cat, I have the option to become one voluntarily. Thus, meat is murder and yada yada but Mr. Whiskers needs his goddamn catfood.

If I slit the throat of my daughter that would be considered child abuse among many other things.
You pay someone to slit the throat of others. Slitting anyone’s throat without their consent is abuse.
Sorry to say but non-humans are used for food and your daughter isn’t. I’m sure she’s delicious though.
So abuse of an animal for sadistic/neglectful purposes is different from killing it for food, but for humans that obviously isn’t true.
Not an equal comparison.
in what world does killing not equal abuse? needlessly taking a living being’s life is one of the greatest abuses one could enact.
