It is my moral right as an omnivore. Ha. It does need to be limited though. In what way, further research is necessary.
It seems what you are saying is that it is OK to cause unnecessary pain and suffering on a species other than humans? On what other basis can you possibly be discriminating on?
Other than that this is inarguable. Do not shove your own self righteous beliefs on me.
