YOU DON'T HAVE TO. YOU DON'T HAVE TO EAT ANIMALS. You are CHOOSING to. And you are using the fact that other animals HAVE TO EAT OTHER ANIMALS to justify it. You're not going to feel bad about your UNNECESSARY cruelty and violence simply because cruelty and violence exist in the universe? That's fucking stupid, you see that, right? Your rationalizations are transparent and the lies you tell yourself are not convincing to others!
