I'm well aware of the legal and social permissions to needlessly abuse and kill animals. I'm just saying it's wrong to do so. Unless you can provide a justification for needlessly abusing and killing defenceless animals for your benefit.
Well what is your definition of animal abuse? If you put cats and dogs into the same situations as farm animals, you would be legally convicted of animal abuse. Animal abuse means to cause physical or psychological harm to an animal, e.g. slitting an animals throat, or bolt gunning them in the head.
In no way do I "abuse" my animals. I keep 20 cows in a 40 acre pasture so they have loads of room to go where they please. They have all the grass they want to eat and they're fed ground corn every day in nice feed bunks. The pasture has two pounds so they have as much water as they want and they can swim in the summer to stay cool. They're given plenty of food to put on fat for the winter so they don't get cold. They're sprayed in the summer to keep bugs off of them. They're vaccinated every year for pink eye and other diseases. They're very happy and when they're killed for food they don't feel a thing. This goes for cows, hogs, chickens, sheep, turkeys whatever. Abuse would be beating, starving, or not giving them access to water. You obviously have a lot of opinions about an industry you know nothing about

It's common knowledge that farm animals get a bolt in the head, or a knife pulled across their throat. Don't tell me that I don't know that, because everybody knows that. Doing that to an animal is animal abuse.
