I believe humans are at the top of the food chain, but do we really need to eat meat? Look at elefants. They could probably eat anything they'd like, but they are herbavoirs (Fuck spelling).
Elephants can't eat whatever they want since their teeth aren't designed to tear meat. They are only equiped with Molars. The only incisors they have are their tusks which are useless in the chewing process.

So, your argument of being the superior race is invalid to justify that you can eat meat.
How is my argument about being the superiors species invalid? Its because we are the dominant species, our history shows we have eaten meat for at least the last million years. Not to mention the fact we are equipped to eat meat. Though not designed to eat only meat such as predatory animals like wolves, foxes, lions and similar animals. I don't see how that is invalid. What I see as a invalid argument is because we are the dominant species then we should not eat meat because...we'll hurt their feelings. That is a pathetic argument when trying to win a logical argument. Under that logic we shouldn't drink milk (of any animal) we shouldn't eat eggs or any products that is made from or by an animal since its inhumane. Say goodbye to milk because its inhumane to leave those cows, buffalo, or yak in huge enclosed expanses of open land. We shouldn't eat eggs because "your murdering" those unborn eggs.
So if you vegetarian and you are one because of the sole season of "ethics" about the treatment of animals. Then you are a hypocrite for not being vegan.

It's really funny how the very same meat eaters, I'm not saying it is you, think vegetarians are misguided about their morals about not eating animals, but when it comes to the same species as their pets, they suddenly see it as unedible for the moral reasons.
I would kill Leroy (my pet cat) if it comes down to it. Though It would only feed me for a couple hours considering he is only a 10 pound cat. I would be sad because he isn't just a pet. He is more like a member of the family. Any animal or plant should be open for eating unless it endangered. Since the bigger picture is to save a species, not the individual animal.
Companies are trying to solve this "ethics" problem by "growing" meat but, everyone is so against the idea. So people don't want us to eat meat and a majority of them are forcing their beliefs with some condescending attitude about how than the rest of us. What's next? Trying to teach a lion to eat tofu?
