I think there is a way to create ‘ethical’ meat through giving animals good lives and having laws around the ages they can be killed, etc.
However I don’t think it’s possible due to the costs and land required to do this, so unfortunately, I don’t think there is any ethical way to produce meat these days. The most ethical is probably hunting to prevent overpopulation.
The amount of meat people want to eat necessitates factory farming and that is a great breeding ground for animal-borne disease.
Meat also concentrates heavy metals in the animal’s diet. The quantity of meat consumption is making us sick.
Even if humans reduced their meat consumption drastically it would be even more inefficient to produce meat ethically – either that, or the prices of meat would rise astronomically which is probably a good thing, making it more of a luxury item.

Hot take, people who hunt and garden are far more ethical eaters than vegans who are bound to industrial food systems.
