If I picked up cats at shelters, fed them, cared for them, with lots of space and toys, and then after a few months slaughtered and ate them, that would be the most ethical meat consumption right? It would certainly be better for the bird population than letting them go to homes that allow them to roam.
So why does it feel wrong to pick up a healthy young animal that trusts you and slit its throat?
I hope you are aware that more than 99% of all animals raised for meat have a very different experience to what I describe, and not in a good way. So even if the slaughter is not an issue, consider their life.
