    No, but you should feel guilty for the atrocity that you inflict in intelligent creatures. I don’t understand why that does not even enter the equation for people. Even if you must insist that an animal’s life is not worth the same as a human beings, that doesn’t mean it is worthless. That does not mean you are morally entitled to make decisions that require vast cruelty. Your preference for the same three fucking animals over the tens of thousands of culinary plants available to you isn’t more important than not raping animals, not mutilating animals, not traumatizing animals, not forcing the dependence of animals, not torturing and murdering intelligent creatures.
