This is the point of morality being subjective and therefore consensual. You call them victims, we call them food. You feel it is horrible. We feel that they, like ourselves, are part of the food chain. You have exhorted us to rise above our base animal nature. We embrace our animal nature.
Since our sentiments in this matter do not overlap your appeal to our moral nature has failed. It happens. It doesn't mean there won't be many more matters where we would share moral sentiments. Just not this one.
As I've already said I applaud you and yours for eating low on the food chain. (Can I get an amen for the fact that I've not and will not be breeding?) We're both contributing to a related problem.
