I might be wrong, but maybe the challenge is not about the black and white but more about the greys?
I hope so....
There should be no hard line to anothers life. We are all splinters of the same consciousness.
Certain vegans do not have the right to the 'holier than thou' attitude they like to portray.
No-one is far from blame.
The car you drive? the clothes you wear? The paper you use? the electricity you consume? The trips you take?
Perhaps you wish to talk about lives? Sweat shops...those forced into sex work? Those bombed out of existence? Those that commit suicide because of the demand on their lives....
Perhaps you meant animals? I see you quote the bible above.... How about :

Genesis 9:3 ESV /
Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.

or

Romans 14:1-23 ESV /
As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. ...

I personally find it curious another will point a finger at a differing point of view (both wishing the best for the animal up to a certain point), and yet say nothing as their privacy is removed, their children are indoctrinated and we are all left (regardless of what we eat) to wade through this hell-on-earth while some choose to demand they be called a particular pronoun.

Apologies to the OP of this page, there are coherent sides to both arguments and I will not co-opt the spirit of debate, but arguments such as this where rlt47 is quite coherent in his/her argument and yet not understood in their equal wish animals be treated with decency up until their demise is dissapointing.

Perhaps Citations of how veganism is less taxing and better for the environment would be more objective?

Either way, I salute the luxury you enjoy while both people and animals suffer, and applaud the fact we can still belittle our fellow while the corporations just keep on electrocuting, over populating, manipulating and dosing animals until they are unceremoniously shoved down a chute and hung for quartering rather than treated with love and respect until their time....... BRAVO!
