Before you dislike this comment I want you to consider the objective logic here.
This situation, and literally billions like it are happening every year for one single reason, people enjoy (not need) consuming animal products. As a vegan I am actively trying to stop these situations, if you are not vegan, what are doing for these animals? What are you doing for the billions of others that die each day in horrendous ways?
If you truly care, consider the bigger picture, and consider your own hand in it as a consumer of the product of violence.
These facts might be harsh, and I don't intend to harm you, I hope you can see that these are just facts, not insults.
What a despicable way to respond to a well reasoned and compassionate comment.
I get that inner reflection is difficult, I really do. But if someone's message hits you in a particularly poignant way, responding with cruelty just doesn't seem helpful for anyone involved. I hope you're able to grow past it and hold a mirror to yourself.
Look, horrible people who understand, accept, and celebrate atrocities always have and always will exist. These are tiny percentages of society. Are you really that horrible of a person? Or maybe you are just so deep in denial that you go for a distraction like childish insults that help you avoid facing reality? Or maybe just a troll?
In any case, I will not engage with you any further. Please reflect on your own views, actions, and words.
