I'm not going to repeat myself nor will I take notice of personal attacks. You have a problem with comparing "harvesting of animal products" to human suffering, yet you can't explain why. That's called cognitive dissonance coupled with speciesism.

People get touchy about comparing animals with humans as if humans are not animals. Do you not agree that suffering is the same regardless of species? I'm not saying that a human salve is the same as a chicken slave, I'm saying that both have the capacity to feel pain and cruelty and both strive for a free life and both deserve it.

My final thought is this;

If thanks to science in today's modern western society, we know it is possible to live healthy, comfortable lifestyles where no animals are harmed, why should we still chose to do so?
