I know a vegetarian - hasn't eaten meat since he was like 10 or 11 or something (he's 50) - says he doesn't eat meat because he "has a conscious", his car has leather seats (because he loves leather like most people), he readily cooks chicken for his kids, and he doesn't seem to bother people about their choice to eat meat.
I remember the last time we had this discussion somebody posted a video of mulesing claiming it was cruel beyond belief - I'd never seen it before but it didn't look that bad, I mean it's not as if they're breaking bones or causing long-lasting pain to the animals. The idea that animals mustn't be allowed to experience any pain or discomfort is IMHO pretty darn silly. For the most part they get to have happy pain and stress free lives, free from predators and disease.
Everything you have an opinion is 'darned silly' right from your infantile beleif in God which leads you to beleive inflicting pain is just fine so long as its for your selfish benefit.
