What about cats or dogs? Do you not feel empathy towards them either?
Studies have shown that pigs are more intelligent than dogs. By your logic, eating pigs is more cruel than eating dogs.
Alright, I never asked you to become vegan. I just pointed out your code of ethics, when it comes to what animals do and don't deserve empathy, is cruel and irrational. What you do with that information is up to you.
I love how you say "the gotcha" as it invalidated the argument. There is a paradox in your ethics, pointing out the way ppl tell you about it won't change anything about the fact being presented here.
It feels like to me that you are more concerned about winning an argument than adressing what is being talked about here.
Don't interact then. As simple as that, if you can't take input from other people on online forums.
So you are aware of the cruelty but proudly proclaim that you'll always willingly participate, no matter what?
