So now you feel you have a right to impose your beliefs on me and judge me, if I dont embrace them as you do, all because you have your "feeling" about animals and their "feelings" which you created in your own head? So now I must change my whole way of thinking and my diet all because you "feel" that we are the same as animals and that eating animals is immoral? Forget history, forget instinct, forget everything I know...all because of your feeling?

Uh, no.
No I'm not saying that at all. I dont presume to judge others, I judge only myself. By the way, I have more than gut feelings, if you really want me to be specific. There is quite a lot of evidence that supports my beliefs, no i can't prove them without a doubt, but its certainly not just a "feeling" i have.

Now would you kindly answer my question? What do you base your beliefs on? Or is just your "instinct".
