"Personally I like the intimacy of being close to killing the animals we eat, it's authentic"
This is such an bizarre statement. Something like "I like the intimacy of being close to [a horrendous thing]".
I mean I agree that it's better done outwith closed doors, but really it seems the reason that everyone is OK with it is because lobsters aren't as cute (or at least as conducive to being empathized with) as calves, chicks and lambs. Which doesn't seem like a logical way to choose what we kill.
