I think "Veganism" is the wrong place to look. I consider NAP to be sacrosanct and I consider that animals shouldn't be killed because it would a violation of NAP. Meat industry is a violation of NAP. No sentient creature should die (unless it is accidental) just because we need to eat stuff. I don't have a problem if Hannibal Lecter was eating lab grown meat. My issue is with the acquisition of said meat being a violation of NAP.

Same goes for the poor creatures. Slaughter cannot be condoned simply because these animals are less capable in cognitive tasks. If that is the case, we should also be killing the mentally disabled because they can't think properly.

As for pesticides, it's just an industrial complex. Especially in the East there were many natural remedies and most of them didn't kill other animals. Plus pesticides poison our food and the soil. On a short time span it means nothing and has zero significant effect. But over generations it will destroy our civilization. I mean look at the rats of Cancer, Autism etc. I'm 100% convinced that pesticides play a part in this along with some vaccines and drugs and other things.
