Animal rights activists take your argument and extrapolate it to its logical conclusion--that any animal cruelty is wrong.

This means all slaughter of animals is inherently wrong, regardless of intent.

We must retain an "animals are property" stance or we are all screwed if we eat meat.

The argument advanced by you, just now -- while not one I agree with -- is, intellectually, a responsible and respectable one.

"My argument is the only rational one," by contrast, is not.

Hence, the gentle visual reminder, earlier. :)
