Not only is that a very immature "argument", it's also overlooks any sort of substance in the name of making an easy "point"
It's obivous to anyone with a brain that not all animals are equal in their "sentience", and all people feel empathy for animals based on factors like the animals proximity to humans in terms of DNA, intelligence etc.
Not eating animal meat because of "the poor animals" is a foreign concept for me, but it's pretty easy for anyone with a modicum of intelligence to see the difference between feeling empathy for a cow and feeling empathy for an insect.
This is a trite argument bleated to score artificial "points", I don't know any people that would say "I'm turning vego because of the poor mosquitos".
Vegetarians don't proclaim to be bhuddist monks that value all life equally there are many reasons that people take up vegetarianism.. the portion that want to save puppies or whatever just don't want to eat mammals, theres no legal declaration they sign that states they won't kill flies, virii and bacteria.
It's like saying "All American carnivores are hypocrites because they won't eat cats and dogs" it's facile at best.
Ps. I can't believe I'm fueling your sad sigwhoring attempts... You're lucky im bored.
