Sorry still do not see an "ethical" issue here (at least not while there were no known bad effects) It only becomes an ethical issue once it is known that there are or possibly are bad effects cused by the practice. Feeding meat to herbivores is...weird in my opinion, but not unethical..untill there are known potential side effects. The addage "Waste not Want not" comes to mind. The whole reason it was started was because there was a precieved innefficiency and thus a loss of profit. and no matter what you do in life it is all about profit and loss.....it may not be money...but that equation is still there.
Do I want them to stop feeding herbivores meat? I do now that we know it has side effects. But you know...the polio vaccine kills a certain number of people each year......should we stop administering polio vaccine?? I think not.
(ok you may think I wnet off on a tangent there...but Ill tie it in for ya) Just because a certain number of people die each year does not mean that a practice is not efficatious and responsible.....we banned DDT because of the effects it had on SOME birds eggs.....now it is estimated that 30,000 - 60,000 people a year die from Malaria and its side effects all for the want of a cheap effective remedy.
