Plants and trees are as alive as animals. There’s no question of morality in slaughtering animals especially when we have been granted this permission by the Creator of this universe. If such a moral question does arise, then it equally applies to plants and trees as well.
Please see this article by Alana Schetzer at the University of Melbourne, titled “Plants Have Feelings Too“

Hello sir AoA
By what I have understood by this is :
– We eat animals only because God has permitted it. Like if God wouldn’t have permitted it, there was NO reason for us that we could slaughter them. Am I right? Because we kill them by taking name of God in it.
Is my understanding of this subject right?
2) If God wouldn’t permit it, we could not have even used them for taking milk or other purposes like travelling etc. Is this conclusion right?
3) Lastly, for a person who doesn’t believe in God, let’s say for example that they are atheists, for them, as they don’t believe in God and thus in his books, killing or eating animals go against PRINCIPLES. Yes they may eat it but principally it seems wrong as they don’t believe animals are God’s creatures.
Is this assumption right?
Sorry for typos and lengthy question, thank you for your assistance.

In summary, the point that we must understand is that life is sacred but God has granted us the permission to take the lives of certain animals for our own consumption. Without God’s permission there is no moral basis for it.
