More than a singer you believe you can also be a:
'Toucher of the Soul and Spirit, Joy and Light Bearer, Planet Beautifier, Soother, Relaxer, Life Enjoyer, Fun Lover, Thought Provoker, Pain Reliever, Dream Maker, Entertainer, Inspirer, Hope Instiller, Powerful Vibration Transmitter, Exciter, Hope Giver, Healer, Comedian, Politician, Teacher, Philosopher, Lover'

Personally I think its great that you believe that you can help people and touch peoples lives with your music. Is it right that you should do so at the expense of an animals life? Perhaps I was misled by you saying:

'If I have to choose between an animal's life and my own singing, my singing will come first. I don't care what animal it is.'

Perhaps you will never be in a position to eat the last bengali tiger but the cow that you just ate for dinner, will have had a similar amount of energy as the tiger (I think), and as far as I can tell no-one has the right to take away the life of an animal purely to fulfill your purpose. Hitlers purpose was to create an arean race, to do this he believed that he had to kill inferiors (particularly jews) in their millions. The only real difference between eating meat and killing people is we generally see people as a higher race, but their are many people still alive that Im sure believe they are superior to other races. In no way am I trying to compare you to Hitler, Im just suggesting that maybe the good you are doing with your singing is been counteracted by the evil you are doing when you kill animals for food, when many people testify that vegetables are satisfactory.

Just my 2 cents (hope I didnt offend anyone)
