I agree with you. But virtually everything we eat has once been alive. Eating any of them deprives them of life. The consensus seems to be that the more intelligent they are (based on human standards, that is), the crueller it is to murder and devour them.
We don't like to see ourselves as killers so we get someone else to commit the act and then package the meat in shiny little packages we can buy at supermarkets.
I'd prefer it if everyone was a veggie, or at least meat-eaters took the responsibility of slaughtering and carving up their own food, but the call of ignorant bacon is strong.
