What are the better arguments against eating meat?

I've seen quite a few comments say eating meat is *probably* morally wrong, but I don't really know the arguments.

googling appears to give me mainly emotional appeals or "unnecessary harm to sentient creatures," but I don't know the justification for "unnecessary harm to sentient creatures is morally wrong."

This isn't merely an appeal to emotion.  It's a logical argument.  Basically:

1. Undeserved (or unnecessary) suffering is intrinsically bad.
2. We ought to alleviate or eliminate suffering the best we can.
3. Eating meat causes animals to suffer.
4. It is not necessary that we eat meat.

Therefore, eating meat is morally wrong because it causes unnecessary suffering.

That's hardly an appeal to emotion.
