Wolves, for example–the probable ancestors of dogs–live in packs that hunt together and have a complex hierarchy.

There are two approaches a vegetarian might take in arguing that rearing and killing animals for food is morally offensive. He might argue that eating animals is morally bad because of the pain inflicted on animals in rearing and killing them to be eaten. Or he could object to the killing itself.

So, even if animals are killed painlessly and raised for food in humane ways, it is wrong to kill them. For example, on Tooley’s analysis, having a right to life is the same as being a person. Consequently, the killing of some animals for food, if done painlessly, is not morally objectionable. But this is surely dubious.
