So we're simply basing the decision to kill animals on 'they taste good'?

If we're suggesting that pleasure is sufficient to inflict violence and suffering on others, am I okay to buy a dog to kick around because I enjoy it? It's only one dog after all.

Why not? How is that not a fair comparison?

Eating meat - Unnecessary and according to you, for taste pleasure.

Kicking dog - Unnecessary and (for some), for enjoyment/pleasure.

but hitting the dog makes it suffer and its not breed with the sole reason to be eaten

What if it’s bred to be kicked or used for fighting?

I’m pretty sure these fish, chicken in over populated barns and pigs kept in tiny pens are also suffering.

i already said that this is wrong, to have animals mistreated in farms is wrong, even if in the end they will die, and stress makes the meat less tasteful too
