If you think a strong argument can't be made from morality, and only from science, then you got serious problems.
I.e. eating animals period, is not a moral act. Especially intelligent ones. Slaughterhouses are just adding insult to injury.
Take pigs. They're smarter than dogs. Yet we eat them. But most of us here (barring certain cultures), would be sickened by the prospect of eating a dog. Because we arbitrarily classify dogs as a special class of animals.
It's certainly a welcome improvement.

What about free ranges that (supposedly?) treat livestock more humanely? Any thoughts on the ethos of those?
