What do they know-all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world - about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. All other creatures were created merely to provide him with food, pelts, to be tormented, exterminated. In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka.

But they do exist. We can’t instantly change that. And some will be used for meat, we also can’t change that. So we start by trying to make more intelligent decisions, reducing societies exploitation of meat animals, and helping people understand why this is good.

Exactly this. If our choices are keeping our personal moral purity or reducing harm to minimize animal suffering and destruction of nature, I obviously choose the latter. Who cares about what's wrong or right over trying to actively stop this ecological disaster we're doing? Eating meat is socially acceptable right now, do we like it or not. Getting people to side against that is an uphill battle that won't be won by being actively hostile about it.
