I will not eat veal. And I have a hard time with the idea of eating lobster. That said, I don't think it's unethical, per se, to eat these animals. Animals in the wild torture and kill each other every day (like cats with their mice, for instance), so I don't see why humans should be held to a different standard. We are animals! Just cuz we can use special tools and build computers don't make us any different.

But I do think it's wrong to cause undue stress and pain and agony on animals just so we can put 'em in our bellies. How we treat the animals before we eat them is what I find unethical.

Unethical
adj 1: not conforming to approved standards of social or professional behavior
