Sure, you want to eat steak, I get that. Go eat a steak. But lets at the very least treat the animals with respect and give them some semblance of a decent life and kill them quickly and humanely.

5 years from now, you will be killed.
Would you rather spend those 5 years jammed into a concrete cell with thousands of other inmates, unable to move, standing in your own feces, never to see the sun and only eating corn?
Or would you rather have a bed, running water, proper meals, be allowed outside in the sunshine for some hours a day and even get some exercise?
I think it's pretty clear which one you prefer, and we should treat non-human animals the same way. They're alive, lets treat them with some respect. (That applies to death row inmates, regular citizens and animals equally)
>You want to treat something with respect and then kill it to eat it? What exactly is the point?
I don't see how your values have any relevance on the answer to that question.
