Because you are creating a moral dimension where there is none. For an animal there is no difference between an animal it feeds on or a fruit, because it doesn't know better.
The only factor with a concept of morals in the world of animal prey - carnivore - you eating the carnivore is you.
If you demand to eat a carnivore, you give money to the human who enslaved the carnivore and condemned the herbivores to be fed in by the carnivore.
In order to be able to eat the carnivore, you condemn both herbivore and carnivore to enslavement and death. You are the morally doubtful actor here. Not the carnivore.
Let me guess: you really, really want to eat meat, right?
No worries, I do, too. But I don't deny myself herbivores. Maybe take a timeout from your rule and eat steak, too, until you come up with a better thought out rule.
That being said, I think veganism is the way to go, I am just not strong enough.
If you ever decide you're ready, see if I'm still using this username. I'm the "help people on their journey" kind of vegan, not the "bully the meat-eaters" kind that are so infamous. I won't judge you. I'll just give you recipes and ideas for easy food.
You call me ridiculous while saying I'm demanding to eat carnivores, which I never said, I eat omnivores which are not farm raised on eating herbivores, lol.
