I think I can live without checking to see who was first. There was no question involved, you both were inferring eating meat is the same as personally harming an animal. Eating meat from animals raised for food to live is a bit different then harming an animal for sexual gratification or because you like seeing an animal in pain. But yeah, we all know this. I'm not sure why you don't? I guess this type of argument is what the cool kids do these days.
"Cruelty to animals, also called animal abuse or animal neglect, is the intentional infliction by humans of suffering or harm upon any non-human animal, for purposes other than self-defense or survival."
