intellegent: “anon for this, I am aware that there are such things in the torah that we are allowed to do but rather not. But why are we encouraged to eat/use animals? There are Mitzvos in the Torah that we need to use animals for in order to fulfill. Do you agree? “
um, how bout karbonos, ein simcha elah bibasar veyayin.
and how about the azazel, where we take a live animal and chuck it off a cliff. i think that would be considered “cruel” no?
and your idea that just because we are allowed it doesnt make it ok is false.
see, what you are saying does not exist anywhere else, except for you wanting it to add to this. we are not allowed to murder steal, rape, etc, because that is explicit in the torah. those would be negative commandments. then we have positive commandments. those would be tzitzis tefflin, shabbos, kibud av veeim, etc. and schitah. if god did not want us to eat animals, he never would have given us a way to kill them, and placed so much space in the torah on what animals we may and may not eat.
