This is so wrong:
"Well this animal was already killed and wrapped for the supermarket, so it doesnt make any difference whether I eat it or not, its already dead."
I hope no omnivores here use that faulty reasoning! Understand that your buying that meat means another animal will be killed to fill that space on the shelf. Buying it is pretty much killing it, with a long arm, but your hands are still bloody!

Also, as for the first scenario you posted-- it looks like vegans and vegetarians come with their own layers of reasoning for why they don't eat meat. Understanding the ethics of killing is great and all, but I think the most important layer is that of our own HEALTH. Eating that dead cow is, most of all, unhealthy for our bodies.
Another layer is the spiritual layer-- those that are opening up spiritually can see that our minds are less clear when we carry dead animals in our bodies.
And vegetables are a lot yummier anyways!
