There's a difference between KILLING an animal for food or medicine, and TORTURING one for your dining pleasure. Are you really so slow witted that you don't understand this very basic difference, or are you just pretending to be because you feel like being an asshole?

Oh, be certain that animals are tortured to a high degree for medicine and food, too. But both animal food and new medicine are a convenience and not a necessity, right? Where do you draw the line? Do we
need eggs for breakfast? No. So let's stop torturing the chickens for them.
Do we
need a juicy T-bone steak? No. So let's stop torturing the cattle.
As far as I can see, this would simply be a matter of degree, not of principle. If I'm wrong, tell me. Where would you draw the line, and most importantly: Why?
