Do you also cry when you step on a bug?

  I don't, but I go out of my way to avoid stepping on the snails in my front garden, and I move insects away from places where they are likely to get squished by shoes or tires, I help spiders and flies out of my house if they are inside and look for a good place in my garden for them, and I just wave away mosquitos if they attack me.

  No. But I don't go out of my way to intentionally inflict pain, ensure their lives are miserable, and kill them at scale. If your point is that people are hypocrites then this is nothing new or worth pointing. My hypocrisy does not detract from points I make. It merely indicates a disconnect between my actions and my beliefs. My beliefs can still be valid even my actions aren't.

    Chicken farmers don't go out of their way to inflict pain or ensure misery, either. They're side-effects of the "produce as many chickens as quickly and cheaply as possible" goal.

      Well, if those are side effects then it is intentional. There may be a good reason for it but it is intentional.
