However, to force an animal to die is suffering. Especially if it is happy. Most laws where animals are concerned do not sufficiently offer them a good life.
Killing an animal humanely doesn't have anything to do with suffering. Calling an animal 'happy' is a bit of a stretch too, although the issue of animal consciousness is somewhat contentious.
I can kind of see your point. Regardless, I don't think it's right to breed something to die. Also, the majority of animals do suffer in the farming industry, without a doubt. That's why the viva and Kentucky Fried Cruelty campaigns matter.
Today I had pasta and pesto with a stuffed pepper. It was juice, I tell thee. I then made some very quick cookies with an internet recipe (took less than 10 mins prep and cooking!). A bit dry but there is a good idea in there.
