I can tell from the teeth in my mouth that I am omnivorous. That takes care of the "morality" of eating meat. I think of it as Nature's very own fast food.

Since I eat meat, I do not disdain the work involved in making it available to be eaten -- i.e., killing the animal, dressing it out, butchering it and cooking it. I am grateful that our society is so ordered that other people will do much of that work for me (for a price), thus allowing me to spend that time doing other things.

On the subject of disease among wildlife, bovine tuberculosis is endemic among white-tailed deer in much of the northern United States and southern Canada -- yet another reason why farmers generally do not focus on their beauty when they think of deer. Those of us who like venison reduce the risk by cooking the meat thoroughly before eating it.
