Enslaving livestock is immoral. Anyone who spends 5 minutes thinking about that agrees even if they still eat meat

Let's say I've thought about it for 5 minutes and still disagree. Can you walk me through what you think I'm missing?

I'm stuck on what the concept of a "slave animal" even means.

For the purposes of this discussion, it means treating an animal in such a way that if you treated a human that way, it would be slavery. Such as a horse in a fenced pasture that is sometimes ridden.
