Technically, all 음식 is murder, unless you're capable of photosynthesizing 또는 eating things that are solely chemicals. Meat is murder, but so is eating any plant, which is basically the only other option for human beings. What's intriguing about this is that if 당신 mention it to these very self-righteous vegetarians and vegans, the bulk of them will respond with "plants don't have feelings." Seems awfully hypocritical for a group that has advocated that many 동물 can feel in ways we don't always easily perceive would then turn around and say another life form, which almost certainly does "feel" to some extent, is incapable of regarding pain and death. Generally, though, I think their best message is not "meat is murder," it's "meat is torture." Factory farming is certainly torturous for the 동물 involved, living in small, dirty spaces, being force fed foods and antibiotics for the purposes of improved growth and the like. There's certainly something to be said about how we treat animals, and really the only defensible response is that we need a lot of meat, and this is the way to get it. The reality is that if we didn't have that large amount of meat, we'd need a lot 더 많이 arable land to produce 더 많이 plant products. However, I don't think this justifies what we put these 동물 through, it just justifies the expansion of current animal farming practices to wider areas in my opinion.
