Butt killing someone isn't respectful just because we say it is. If I kill you without you feeling any pain, it's hard to say I'm really respecting you, even if I say "respect in death as well".
> I have never killed an animal to eat and had it suffer
Have you ever purchased food that contained animal products? Because there is the overwhelming likelihood that the products came from a factory farm, which tend to be horrific for animals. Also, you say it _is_ worth it. Why? Why not just eat something else that doesn't involve killing an animal that doesn't want to die?
> Whenever they get smart enough to do that to us.
Ah, so not much of a circle is it then? A circle is reciprocal, and what we do to animals most definitely is _not_.

If I had to kill someone in self-defense, I'd also try to make it as humane as possible. There's no point in generating excess suffering.

Because I am above that animal on the food chain, and it's my natural right to eat it. Why don't you go judge a lion instead?

We rot in the dirt eventually, plants eat us, and then herbivores eat those plants. It's a circle.
