"what if the only meat i ever eat is already dead when i find it, or i respectfully kill it myself - and ensure minimal suffering - without hi tech weaponry? am i still a world destroyer?"

Layla AbdelRahim and others point to scavenging as a vital transition toward humans eating outside their biological diet, beginnings of predating on animals.

In today's times, scavenging and foraging don't create a demand on industry. But your keeping & killing of human-bred domesticated animals is problematic for the environment and does not break away from the core problem preceding industry and agriculture - human's shift to predating on animals.

Our earliest human ancestors knew that there is no such thing as 'respectfully killing animals ensuring minimal suffering', even before any weaponry. For most of human existence humans were prey, not predator. If you had been food for one of our predators (before colonizing humans eliminated our predators) would you have been ok with it if the saber toothed tiger tried to respectfully kill you humanely?
