    The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection. The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence.

      The brain you have that can make up such bullshit is a result of eating animals.

      So are you going to kill yourself because your very existence is the result of eons of humans eating animals?

      As for fallacies, prove that

      animals are morally equivalent to your children

      That’s a sophist argumentation tactic known as “begging the question”.

      That you have the hubris to call others fallacious is, well, I’d say shocking, but it’s par for the course when someone decides they know better than the rest of us and deign to be condescending (which usually happens after Philosophy 101).
