How about a chicken then? A chicken can be easily killed. All you have to do is have someone hold his feet while you cut off his head with a hatchet.
Or, you can hold him by head and swing him around really fast. My dad never did it that way but I've heard that's a common way of killing chickens.
Should be really easy.

I don't think terms fit into any ray. It is the meaning of the term that might be associated with a ray, or an intention.
It is a fact that some eat meat and some don't. We can sugar-coat it but that won't change the fact.
If anything is divisive, it's the fact that we aren't in agreement on this, not the words used to describe it. It is what it is.
But I'm receptive, if you have a suggestion as to a better way to say it that is still accurate in its ability to convey the intended meaning.
Edit: I just read Diana's response. She is correct. I didn't mean it had to be with your bare hands. How about cutting the throat of the cow? That can be done easily, right? You could just use a very big, sharp knife.
