I’m merely using religious values as an example for why someone might eat meat but also be concerned with animal welfare, and that there exist worldviews where the two are compatible.
For myself I’m content in asserting that animals are not human and there’s no reason to afford them the same rights as humans. If I assume that I have the same faculties for reason but need to come to a conclusion behind a veil of ignorance, I would still be ok with a world in which people eat some meat.
