MODERATORS
You probably mean sapience and not sentience, because dogs and monkeys definitely can feel things.
I'm going to give an opinion that some may not agree with. The most ethical form of eating meat is from an animal that can consent. Since we can't ask a dog, monkey, cow, pig, etc. if they want to be consumed, the most ethical meat is humans who consent to it. If you disagree please explain how.
The same goes for sending things into space to die for us.
What if I just don't care. I'm against needless cruelty, but for the near future we will need some amount of meant (until correct substitutes are found). The things bred for centuries to be meat will continue to do so for the near future, until we have the time and effort to spare in order to change it.
As someone above pointed out to me, the testing nor space deployment of animals was not truly necessary for any data, its all needless cruelty that gives no results. That practice should be ended.
edit: and thank you for the correction
