   You're in more arrogant denial of reality.

   Is there even the slightest commonality between a criminal defense of   
   an actual crime against hominid young and your perceived outrage that   
   many humans would lawfully choose to consume meat?   
      
   Then please list for us the great Vegan societies of this world and   
   how long they lasted.   
      
   (here, done for ya)   
      
   "Historically & Culturally Plant-Based Societies   
      
   Jainism (India): A major religion practicing Ahimsa (non-violence), often   
   adhering strictly to a vegan or vegetarian diet.   
      
   Rastafarianism (Jamaica): The "Ital" diet promotes natural, plant-based   
   eating, often without added salt or chemicals.   
      
   Ancient Influences: Historical figures such as Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten   
   (banned animal sacrifice) and Greek philosophers like Porphyry (who advocated   
   against eating sentient animals) promoted early forms of vegan philosophy.   
      
   Gujarat, India: Known as the world's first vegetarian city, Palitana,   
   where meat and egg sales are banned."   
      
   Now explain to us whey you live in one of the most carnivorous nations   
   on the face of God's green earth!   
      
   "AI Overview   
   Approximately 66% to 89% of Australians identify as meat-eaters,   
   positioning the country among the highest per-capita meat consumers   
   globally. While around two-thirds are strict meat-eaters, another 19%   
   are flexitarians, bringing the total population consuming meat   
   regularly to over 85%."   
      
   Waiting is............
