Going vegan doesn't make you a pussy, Nimai Delgado, and world record holding vegan strongman Patrik Baboumian
It is cruel to kill an animal that doesn't want to die. It is unnecessary cruelty. Vegan diets are nutritionally adequate

Harming an animal while it's alive is cruel, but when it's needlessly killed, that isn't cruel?
Check out the animal ag industry's impact on the environment: http://www.cowspiracy.com/facts
To kill an animal is to harm it once, rather than harm it repeatedly over several years - different orders of magnitude in my books.
I'm not saying it's not cruel, just that other problems in the world are so, so much more important in my eyes.
Animals are abused their entire lives in the animal ag industry. Check out Earthlings.
And if the animals themselves aren't a top priority, the industry is destroying our environments, and animal products are destroying our health.
I'm more concerned about cruelty to animals throughout their lifetimes - I don't think killing an animal in a professional manner is overly cruel.
Even considering some of the horrible living conditions we subject factory farmed animals to, I am so much more concerned with cruelty to humans, species extinctions, and environmental degradation; that animal cruelty is hardly on my radar at all. I do make an effort to reduce my intake of some animal products for environmental reasons.
