However, as technology advanced that could change. If you can produce food economically without endangering animals, then raising animals simply to use them for food becomes unjustifiable. Other uses for animals might still be justified (like animal testing), but anytime a technology reduces the need for animal-based testing that is a good thing in my mind. Life has some value - even primitive life. That doesn't mean that i'm going to cry everytime I step on an ant, but on the other hand I'm not going to breed ants just so that I can step on them.
Wish had some mod points for that.
