Plants are alive, so why isn't murder to kill them? We humans have to kill and consume other living things in order to live.
Now I can see and even agree with concerns about animal farming and killing the meat animal humanely as possible.
Is...wait, are you being actually serious. I was thinking this was a joke/parody thread but I guess not?
So how would we prevent wild animals from eating our crops? How would you get vitamin B12? What about habitat destruction?

Yes, I'm sure you're eating the creatures that are eating our crops (which are mostly insects). Furthermore, I don't think I've met a farmer that eats the larger animals doing that stuff, aside from maybe deer, but they generally don't have lots of deer in their foodcrops. Are you just a total fucking dumbshit and think that there's like rampaging herds of cows out eating foodcrops or something? And wild pigs or rabbits that do that in some areas, don't tend to make good meat, and there's just so damn much of them that people aren't into eating most of them (oh and generally they kill them using poison or other methods that tend to not be great for consuming the animals later).
Just wow, holy shit, do non-meating eating people really bother you that goddamn much?
I've never made a fuss about not eating much meat (I eat burgers and bacon and fish and very occasionally some other meat products, but its maybe like 5 times a week total, well maybe more if you count splitting a sandwich into two meals or leftover pepperoni pizza or something; and I eat too much milk, cheese, and eggs to be vegan) but holy shit do meat eating assholes sure go out of their way to freak the fuck out if I should decide to not include meat in a meal. While allegedly they do exist, I've literally never encountered an actual "militant" vegan or people that go out of their way to push their vegan or vegatarian on anyone else) in real life, but I've encountered an entire stockyard worth of fat fucking meat eating assholes who want to start pontificating about how meat means being a real man or some other insane bullshit rhetoric. Generally asking them if they're going to pay for all my food, oh they aren't, well then why the fuck are they mouthing off about what I'm eating then, gets them to shut the fuck up. But why they're doing what allegedly is pissing them off so much (preaching about what people should eat), well you have to be a conservative because they're the only ones that are that big of hypocrites and have that unique mix idiocy, being obsessed with what others think but somehow being completely self absorbed while also somehow almost completely lacking any and all self awareness.
Yes I know Peta exists and that those people believe it. I've never met actual Peta members in real life (that I'm aware of, if they are they've never made it known or made a fuss about it beyond me just knowing that they love animals and so I'm much more likely to hear about adopting shelter pets or something else). I've literally never encountered someone making a fuss about being vegetarian or vegan though, and yes, I've hung out with some pretty hippy ass people before and people that I know are vegetarian or vegan, but don't bring it up or preach to other people about it.
