I think you're delicious.
I'm gonna assume that you don't actually consider that a reasonable answer.

Your argument is basically "killing animals is okay because we keep them alive so we can kill them". Helping an animal survive doesn't give you the right to then cause that animal harm. If your reason for helping a species survive is that you can later kill it, then your reason is self defeating. Anyway, is there any evidence to suggest that the animals we eat today were ever in danger of going extinct? We no longer need to eat meat to survive so your argument is currently irrelevant.
The question remains: What gives you the right to domesticate an animal so that you can eventually cause it harm?
