Yea, cause Americans dont eat steak, fried chicken, or bacon.
Muslims are not inclusive to this question.

I dont have to repeat the answers posted here.
But I would like to tell you that 'cow' slaughter was common in Vedic periods..........
Paraskar grahasutra says......" samanso madhupark ityaminyaya bahumanya mana shrotriyabhyagtaya vatsari mahokshan mahajan da nirvapanti grehmeghin , tahin dharmasutrakara samamnanti ."
.....meaning thereby that 'Madhupark' should be served with meat.
As per 'Apastamb'..." Samwatsaran GAVYEN preeti, bhuyansmato mahishen, eten gramyaranyana PASHUNA MANS medhyavyakhyatam. khadgopastarane khadagmansenanantya kalam tatha shatbalemartsayasya mansen vadhrinasasya cha.."[ AA.DHA. sutra 2/7, 16/25 & 2/7/17/3]
Meaning thereby that by serving 'COW MEAT' during 'SHRADH' the 'pitras' get satisfied for one year.
'Manu' has stated........." Niyuktastu yathanyaya yo mans nati manava sa pretya pashunta yaati. sambhavanekvishantim.."
i.e. one who doesnt eat the meat served during madhupark and shradh, remains an animal for 21 births.
There are plenty of evidences which suggest that animal meat was very popular during vedic period.
Plz read Vishnudharmotterpuran, Kurmapuran, Mhabharata, Meghdoot of Kalidasa ,branardiya etc etc.... for reference.
Plz note that this should in no way be construed as disgracing the great Vedas. I just qouted them to show you that meat eating was very much prevelent in ancient times.

because this is what God had to say to Peter. Kill & eat, God created animals for our food.
Act 10:11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
Act 10:12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
Act 10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

You're kidding me, you can't be further from the truth.
Islam was the first religion I can think of that actually gave animals rights. The early Muslims were mocked for saying that you couldn't overburden your farm animals or camels. There's a hadith that says a woman was sent to hellfire for starving her cat to death, and a harlot had her sins forgiven for feeding a stray dog. It's specifically mentioned that if you throw stones and kill birds only for fun, then the birds will testify against you on Judgement Day as to your cruelty and needless murder.
In Islam, you can kill animals for useful purposes like food, but you must do so only in a halal manner (like Kosher); where you ensure the animals are comfortable before you kill them, you cannot kill them in the presence of other animals, and you slice their jugular vein, allowing them to pass out relatively peacefully before death. (Much better than a typical slaughterhouse, where they put a nailgun into the head to kill the animal.)

not just muslims mate, the whole world digs non veg food and if every human would become a vegetarian than soon the green earth society would recommend elimination of masses for sustainment of life on earth.
Cant you think? Every plant on the whole damn planet would be devoured within a couple of years !!!

They show compassion to these animals, by killing them in the least painful way (halal). Brutal killing they reserve for killing of kaffirs.

All of the Koran's 114 chapters except one begins with the phrase "Allah is merciful and compassionate." A Muslim is expected to recognize the brotherhood of man and should treat a non-Muslim as a brother. Showing compassion and charity, Muslims believe, is doing service to God. Therefore, it is written in the Koran "No man is a true believer unless he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself. God will not be affectionate to that man who is not affectionate to God's creatures. Assist any person oppressed whether he is Muslim or non-Muslim."
Mohammed repeatedly forbade cruelty to animals, saying in the Hadith popular tradition, "Whoever is kind to the creatures of God is kind to himself."
Similarly, Mohammed taught "A good deed done to a beast is as good as doing good to a human being; while an act of cruelty to a beast is as bad as an act of cruelty to a human being."
The Koran (6:38) explains that such benevolence flows directly from God: "There is not an animal on Earth, nor a bird that flies on it's wings, but they are communities like you."
The Koran does permit meat-eating, but its also encourages healthful foods (which, many Muslims conclude, does not include animal products). Given these traditions, many Shi'ite Muslims and the Islamic mystics, such as the Sufis, see vegetarianism as the Islamic ideal and choose this diet.

Rude, my foot! (oops...I mean Food). If you can see beyond your own 'mono-cultural boxes' you will find that there are common elements and principles upon which all the world can agree. I hope you have understood!.

Mmmmmm....Cows are yummy.... Camels, not so much. Although, I dont mind eating me a camel toe every once in a while...
When I see a cow, my first thought is "Why is that steak wearing my leather jacket?"
