It says nothing at all about me because it's how everyone who eats meat operates...

Harm for harm's same isn't what we're talking about. I may not beat my blender for fun but I'm never going to consider it's feelings because it has none.

Well, you didn't actually pitch a way in which people who eat meat operate. With a provocative one-liner like that, it's an exercise left to the reader. I'd challenge you to belabor it into a paragraph if you think you have a point, else it's too easy to dismiss any response as "you misunderstood me."

For example, what are you referring to with the word "inaccuracy" in your statement? And how do meat-eaters operate?

Anthropomorphizing something is to attribute to it emotions it does not have. Obviously that's an error, and meat eaters correctly operate without this false belief.
