“Any longer than necessary” is literally any suffering in this context because it’s wholly superfluous. Even on that note, if I walked outside today and were killed by a skilled marksman, I probably wouldn’t feel a single thing; that’s still not “humane” because it still didn’t need to happen.
but I also eat meat, so I’m in no real place to judge.
No, I really think you are and that meat eaters resign themselves too quickly to this attitude to resolve the cognitive dissonance and avoid feeling hypocritical. I’m vegan and haven’t used animal products for years, but I didn’t drop everything one day. I thought “huh, you know, killing cows and pigs for no real reason seems kind of fucked up.” This extended to chickens and then extended to fish as I increasingly realized I was using the same excuses. I look back and realize how hypocritical I was being at each stage, but it still made me work toward change.
Never putting yourself in a place to judge is putting yourself in a place where you’re perpetually stuck.

Oh no, I recognize the hypocrisy, I just enjoy eating meat and I don’t care enough to stop. I would be willing to switch to plant based alternatives that offer similar eating experiences at comparable pricing, but we aren’t there yet, although I do like the beyond ground beef, it’s just too expensive for me on a personal level.
Basically, I’ll stop when there are viable alternatives in taste, texture and price. Don’t really care about the moral arguments tbh. I’ve accepted that in this aspect of life I am a bad person.

Wow. I mean, props to you for being honest about it. You… kinda suck. Hope you snap out of it some day and realize you can be a better person.
