You can be proud of whatever you like. The problem was you declaring that your ethical system was universal. Most of our ancestors had no problems personally killing and consuming animals. Your abhorrence of the practice is not universal.

When you read about the statements made by abolitionists ("no one can feel proud of himself when he exploits the flesh of his fellow man") do you think "how arrogant, they should have acknowledged that their ethical system wasn't universal"? No? Didn't think so. An argument that a conviction is not universal is a very poor one indeed. Tastes change. Still waiting to hear what makes you feel proud when you eat meat.
