Hi Brendon
I think people do have to defend their decision to eat animals. I think your last sentence sums it up that you admit that it is sad that animals are exploited and killed just to satisfy human taste buds, when there is no need to have animals in your diet.
If you couldnt eat your pet cat or dog, then eating a pig or a chicken should be off limits to. There is no difference bar the part where you have been socially conditioned to follow a certain diet.
