"I only eat cheese and bacon". Really does that make rape and murder better?
No, but letting perfect be the enemy of improvement is counter productive. Maybe that's a chance to introduce someone to some recipes that could scratch the itch that cheese and bacon do, or connect with them and potentially form a bridge for them to walk instead of meeting them with open hostility?
Depends. Can I still accuse them of raping and murdering?
You can do whatever you want, but if you actually care about animals you will have actual discussions with people instead of burning bridges and going on the internet to brag about it
