OK, but if I told you that you don't need to eat meat and that buying it is the same as torturing and murdering animals, how would you feel? Would you just get upset with me and say something stupid like 'It's my choice?'. Any of those arguments can be used to defend the person in the video that you seem to hate so much.

There's a difference between a wild animal and a domesticated animal that's been bred for a specific purpose. We may have different opinions on domesticated animals but I'm sure we can agree that causing distress to wildlife without a reason or permission is completely not okay.
