11. I think you're starting to get at something.
You say basically torture is always wrong but killing can sometimes be warranted (we hold that same moral standard as it pertains to the operation of slaughterhouses, for instance.) I suppose the rebuttal from the right would be that the steer/hog/chicken hadn't done wrong to us and in fact are being killed to nourish us and therefore deserve better. So what's the response to that?
