Nice flamebait. Do you cry about the millions of lifeforms you killed when take antibiotics? Or not because they aren't cute 'n' cuddly?

I would say a lifeform that counts is a lifeform with a well developed nervous system that is aware of its existence, is consicous, can self locomote and feel pain, pleasure, emotion, etc. Under this definition, crops that grow in the field and microbial organizms don't count, but farm animals are not crops even though modern civilization treats them as such.

Either you eat no meat or you are a bigger hypocrite than a vegetarian who wears leather shoes.
