I like your line of thinking.  It's like the comeback I give to rabid 
vegans who  try to embarrass me for my love of meat.  Plants must 
have feelings since many studies have shown that if you play certain 
kinds of music some plants die or thrive.  How can you kill the 
plants?  At least I can say that I have killed/cleaned etc the meat I 
have eaten.

Anecdotely though, I have an Aunt who wouldn't eat any of the bacon 
or hams we had given her because she had seen the pigs and she didn't 
want to eat something she had met.  Silly isn't it?
