You say the cow cares? I say the cow never asked for your advocacy. And we both know you cannot prove it has.

I can prove pretty easily that cows can suffer. I can't prove that any individual cow wanted to live any more than I can prove that any murder victim wanted to live, but it's a safe fucking assumption that they did.

And it’s also safe to assume they are entirely clueless about the concept of meat consumption

And a child doesn't know what sex is, but it turns out that the victim not being able to comprehend the crime being committed against them is not a justification for committing that crime. I know, you don't think your logic can be expanded to cover things outside of dietary decisions, but it can whether you like it or not.

What someone wants to eat, provided it is legal- is only considered to be your business to you and you alone- not to them. So your opinions of their consumption of cheeseburgers is every bit as important to an omnivore as the opinions of Christian fundamentalists are to the LGBTQ.

Something being legal does not mean it's okay, and my opinion of me consumption is a bit more meaningful than the opinions of Christian fundamentalists to the lgbt, on account that your perfectly legal dietary decisions actively cause harm in a way that being gay doesn't.
