You really didn’t read my comment. I said quite clearly that the animals of those times owed their lives to people, which is CERTAINLY not the case today. “Do you think that Hashem CH”V does not have the strength to tell us not to do something that He’d prefer we don’t???” Sure he does, but don’t forget, we are ALLOWED to.

Why would H-m allow us to do something that He’d prefer we don’t. I know that there are cases of things that we can take on ourself so I will ask further why we would be encouraged to eat meat and fish on Shabbos and other examples such as korbonos etc. which you still did not explain. (Besides for MITZVOS such as Tefillin, mezuzos that require that we use parchment?)

I hear that you say that so long as we were kind to the animals we were allowed to eat meat but now that they are treated cruelly we may not. Assuming that that makes sense, are you trying to say that the above cited mitzvos are null today? If so that is called putting your intelligence and logic above Hashem. The greeks felt that their minds were on top and there was nothing higher than their logic. The Maskilim also felt that way.
