If you think that's cruel, what could you possibly be eating?

  To be fair, there is a difference though, between cruelty for "art"s sake, and killing to survive.

    and there is a diffrence between killing to survive and the cruelty that most (USA) food animals endure in factory farms.

      This comment was in regard to cruelty on plants that you eat.

  As if perfect consistency is something attainable or even virtuous if it was. ME, personally, yeah I contribute to a lot of ethically horrifying things through my economic choices. Mostly because I'm lazy, also not sufficiently rich that I could afford to consume only things I find ethical even if I was less lazy. Even if I could control my reactions before I even knew I was going to have them I don't see my lack of action with regards to some feelings of revulsion (I eat eggs despite egg farms being horrifying) as a reason not be uncomfortable about stuff.
