Ooo, I can apply nonsensical comparisons between you and moral questionables, too!

You want equality.

Communist states also wanted equality for all of its citizens.

Stalin was a communist.

Stalin killed a lot of people.

Therefore, you have killed a lot of people.

:rolleyes:




Ok, back to the argument:

Let's say I butcher my own meat. In the harvesting process, I take careful measures to ensure that the animals feel no pain.

Why should I value the animals life over my consumption of its meat, even if I can sustain myself on plants? Why should it have "equal consideration of interests"?
