>Humans don't breed, enslave and kill billions of starfish, crickets and worms.

But we do breed, enslave and kill trillions of carrots, apples, potatoes, tomatoes, etc

But again, you have made it clear you feel that some life is not as valuable, namely plant life - so it is morally acceptable from your view to kill plants but not animals because of the difference in the value of life.

Thats good for you but i am interested in hearing arguments from someone who doesn't just ignore uncomfortable facts.

The plant-killing argument is extremely trite and appealing to it to justify the animal holocaust just shows you are desperate for any reason to keep engaging in animal abuse. Please - do have the humility to read again and see just how ridiculous your arguments have been. Claiming vegetables are enslaved and killed is just silly and you know it. What's more, I've repeatedly told you more plants are killed for livestock feed, but somehow you choose not to address this apparent contradiction.
you actually completely fabricated what you think my views are, i'm justifying nothing and my position is still unstated.

I'm simply exploring a philosophical question, while you are obviously defending your lifestyle choices.

That philosophical question being how can one type of life be valued more than another, or how do you justify a moral position of life is precious while simultaneously ending life daily for nourishment. this is a quandary literally every human on the planet faces, no one is attacking veganism, or you , or your choices.

How you are missing that this is my argument, and continually projecting me as some one dimensional 'vegans are even worse than meat eaters' is quite confounding to me.
