    It’s just using logic to destroy some common militant-radical-vegan arguments.

    These people kill thousands of animals each years. And get angry that you kill a thousand and one.

    They get angry that you say that human beings are more important than cows. But then they act as cows are more important than ants.

    At the end that line of thinking is approaching religion levels of dogmatism. Thus why I feel compelled to rebate some arguments.

    Your history for instance doesn’t really hold up. A little home leisure grows doesn’t provide for a family. To provide food for humans you do need proper agriculture, and proper agriculture, even traditional one, means the destruction of animal habitats and their massive killing.

    If you don’t want to eat animals, specially the bigger ones because you feel sorry for them that’s ok. I would never question your personal choices. But if you start trying to enforce your personal choices on me, and start trying to moral shame me in a religious sort of way, then is when I have to push back. I already had my cup of religious moral shaming on catholic school, I don’t need more of it.

    There’s nothing inmoral about eating meat. And not eating meat doesn’t make anyone a better person.
