Modern commercial agriculture is also questionable as it destroys natural habitats for many kinds of animals. It may not be killing them deliberately, but it has a similar effect on the environment.
The issue with meat eating, at least for me, isn't killing animals per se, but raising them in dirty, overcrowded conditions where their entire existence from birth to death amounts to torture. Free-range setups combined with slaughterhouses modeled on Temple Grandin's designs, where the animals don't experience fear, are morally preferable.

I agree that more humane treatment and slaughter is preferable...but it's still an issue to me to take an animal's life so that i can have an enjoyable taste in my mouth.
