You're doing the same thing with technology instead of meat. You're human and equally hypocritical. You don't get a free pass.

Are you avoiding that technology? Or using it too, and also eating the corpses of tortured sentient beings?

By your reasoning here, isn't the guy in the video no worse than you or me? Why are we on a thread expressing outrage at him? If it's either 100% purity or nothing, why do so many people want to lock him up and throw away the key? He's just like us.

You're right that no one can be alive and be perfect. My point is about the relative size of harms. What many people eat every day causes much more horrible suffering than this guy caused to one dog, and the reasons people give for doing it are also really weak.

I'm not ruling out my own hypocrisy as I'm also human. Just don't flaunt yourself as someone better than non vegans when you're also guilty of what you spew. You're not better, you've just made a different choice in life where you belive you've made an impact. Grats.
