Can you understand that I see a fluffy animal I'd like to pet despite thinking it's not immoral to eat them?

Because I don't think you do. And if you want more people reducing the amount of (factory farmed) meat they eat and/or supporting vegan products, perhaps don't paint eveyone who eats meat as a "someone only capable of seeing burgers and leather belts".

I have a leather jacket. It's older than me. It's from the 70's or perhaps even 60's. It's still in good condition because I take care of it. How many plastic (polyester) jackets have you gone through in the last 20 odd years? Because those hurt mother nature both directly and indirectly. How often do have you used an airplane? What's your carbon footprint? Despite me eating meat, I guarantee mine is lower than yours.

But that's okay, because you're not capable of equating indirect harm to anything you contribute to, no, it's only the evil "carnists" who just can't be nice to animals or even ever really feel happiness from the gut wrenching hunger to consume animal flesh they must be suffering from all the time.
