are vegetarians more ethical by not eating meat?

[NoraBrimstone]

Now there's a false anaolgy if ever there was one. Rape=harmful. Meat=harmless.

No, its not harmless only because the victim who suffers and dies is non-human.

By that logic, domestos is harmful because bacteria suffer and die. Or eating carrots is harmful because vegetables suffer and die.

If you're not a fruitarian, your argument is a hypocritical one.

there's something wrong with someone who turns his nose up at particular types of food WHEN THERE'S CHILDREN FUCKING STARVING TO DEATH ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD, you fucking uppity snob! You're the fucking epitome of being a picky shithead!

In what way would me eating meat help those people? If anything, it would leave me with less money to donate to charities that actually will help those people, because meat is more expensive than veg here.
