Serious [Debate] Is it unethical to eat meat?

Vegans refute all these falicies and believe since we're sentient and our brain has been further developed, we should be different because we know what we are doing. I do think a lot of the aspects of the vegan diet are positive and I've adopted a few of the products they consume, but I do eat meat frequently. I think proper living conditions (i.e free range, organic) for the animals in question should be a must, caged animals and battery farming is pretty inhumane. But as for eating them, as long as they have a quick and humane death, I think it's much better.
