Now please stop blaming yourself and your entire species for existing.
Are we supposed to lay on the ground and die because we require animal products to live?
Let’s stop being stupid or coy and assume we either eat meat and animal products and are willing to pay the moral and material price for it or want to whitewash our conscience by making a life of blaming others for just being alive.
Animal products are all across our civilization, regardless you use it personally or not.
Horseshoe crab blood is used to perform specialized tests and analizys. Many forms of gelatin extracted from animal tissues is used to inoculate cultures. Ever heard of lab mice and their importance for scientific research and development, especially when it comes to biomedical and pharmaceuticals? Are you aware that pigs provided human compatible insulin for decades before the synthetic formula was developed? You know replacement heart valves can be harvested from animals? Horses aid in producing antivenoms.
These are very niche yet very important roles animals play to support our entire civilization.
So enjoy your dietary option and allow others to do the same.

The problem is that we share this earth. I choose my own diet, but the diet of others is destroying a planet that’s also mine.
Agriculture is the primary driver of biodiversity loss, with agriculture alone being the identified threat to 24,000 of the 28,000 (86%) species at risk of extinction.
Animal agriculture, in particular, has a significant impact on species extinction and habitat loss. Livestock farming occupies about 40% of Earth’s landmass and accounts for 75% of global deforestation.
Half of the world’s habitable land is used for agriculture, and 77% of this agricultural land is used for livestock production.. This includes land for grazing and land used to grow crops for animal feed. Despite occupying such a large percentage of agricultural land, meat and dairy only make up 17% of the global caloric supply and 33% of the global protein supply.
My diet is not enough to stop this, which is why I want others to change their diet too. It’s not such a strange thing to want, considering what’s at stake.

Yes I totally agree, we can be humane to animals and still eat them
