This statement is, also, not incredibly intelligent. I care about a lot of animals more than I care about most people, and would not want them to suffer. This however doesn't keep me from eating them because I need sustenance and my body was designed to eat omnivorously. Do you seriously think that you know better than around 200,000 years of human evolution that has designed you to be able to eat meat, as well as fruits and vegetables? So you're under the assumption that because plants can't tell you that they feel pain that they don't and their life isn't as valuable as your animals are? You realize that plants are more important than animals as far as your existence is concerned because without them you would have no oxygen and die. By your logic you should just not eat, wither away and die.
