I'm vegan and this is so obviously not an issue ethically. Never mind that vastly more plants need to be harvested to feed livestock, this is a chemical response that is in no way similar to the pain an animal feels.

Go cut your lawn and then kill baby cow and try to tell me it's the same.

It's not obviously a joke as this is how people genuinely argue against veganism

If you encounter someone genuinely dumb enough to make that argument and believe it, feel free to ignore them. They are just bringing you down.
