Your rotten explanation for your appalling
inconsistency stinks.

Killing animals for meat, and thoughtlessly killing
them collaterally in the course of vegetable
production, *both* reflect a failure or refusal to
recognize what you claim is their intrinsic worth.

No. It only proves that the farmer ignores the
inherent rights of his victims.

He ignores them because you keep paying him to ignore them.

If that is his reason for ignoring the rights of his victims,
then he is even more unethical than I first thought.

He isn't ignoring any rights of victims.

But you just wrote that he does; "He ignores them because
you keep paying him to ignore them." Make up your mind.

He ignores what you disingenuously claim, for
unprincipled reasons, to be animals' "rights".

And now you're back to saying he ignores them again.
Make up your mind.
