Any Vegetarians/Vegans here?

[Angrboda]

However, vegetarianism is a case of looking for an ethical principle to use to justify an ideological position, and holding fast to that rationalization in spite of the consequences.

I have used the word "moral" exclusively in this thread, and I think you are the first in this thread to refer to ethics. Is this semantic difference deliberate, and if so, what is you intent in differentiating?

ethics
2. a. (after Greek τὰ ἠθικά). The science of morals; the department of study concerned with the principles of human duty.

Now I know you can't help being a hair-splitting, obfuscating, red herring filled furrball, but I think when you question the relationship between the use of the term 'ethics' versus 'moral', you've ceased to be worth even the courtesy of a reply.
