Do you agree with Richard Dawkins?

I don't think that your avoidance of animal products or meat actually prevents any more suffering than the consumer of meat and animal products causes.

On what do you base this? I think there are about 10 billion animals slaughtered in the US each year. A majority will be in factory farms.

And people who feel that their personal sense of compassion cannot possibly lead to equally or more unfortunate situations are capable of ignoring the cruelty they would inflict as it is hidden to/ignored by them.

Again, I would like to hear your examples?

All that evolutionary time equipped females to have babies when they are 10 years old. Does that mean it is ethical to allow them to become pregnant at that age.

In various countries of the muslim world the answer to that question is a resounding "yes."

Screwing and eating are two rather different functions. One can go for quite a while without screwing....it is alleged that some catholic priests have even tried it.... but eating is a somewhat more necessary requirement for life.

Which muslim countries?

The point is that we do not adopt every practice of our evolutionary forebears. This is no basis for morality.
