Sunshine was making the exact point I had the moment I saw the title. Namely: “The fuck do you mean ‘killed without regret’? I don’t kill anything without regret.”
Once you start nominating groups of sentient creatures as outside normal empathy, it gets easier and easier to expand that definition. That callousness builds on itself. Torturing animals to death in factory farms for no logical reason whatsoever is not a great comparison if you’re trying to take a moral stance against wanton slaughter.
While I think the way we ended up on this subject is not ideal, I would actually be very interested to learn more about this idea- could you help me understand your perspective on the relationship between the two issues?

Violence towards animals fuels genocides. It’s interconnected.

Don’t feed the animals.

If I’m interpreting you correctly thats frankly a lot more fucked up than anything they did.
Really hoping I’m reading that wrong, but if not- don’t be a dick.
We’re all animals.
While that is explicitly true, there’s a very different connotation when you call a person an animal as a way of dismissing them
