No shit Sherlock.
Following the reasoning that I've posted in another comment, another species keeping us as livestock wouldn't be doing something immoral in my book; they're defending their own interests, in detriment to ours. I don't expect for example a jaguar to put my self-preservation above its cub's desire for food.
And similarly it wouldn't be immoral if we fought against it.
Contrariwise to vegans I'm not putting humans on some holier-than-thou ground with intrinsically better moral grounds than the other species; it boils down to defence of one's own interests. Take a clue from the fact that my avatar is a smoking chimp dammit.
Appeal to emotion and other forms of stupidity/fallacy/irrationality don't work well against me. Try something else.
Although I'm suspecting that you guys' approach is something else: ad nauseam / sealeoning, is it?
