Some people told me I shouldn’t be vegetarian because I kill plants.
Unless they were fruitarians, I’d be quite surprised if they took that argument seriously rather than using it as an attempt to make you look inconsistent.
If they themselves eat rabbits but not dogs, they are themselves inconsistent, as rabbits are more closely related to humans than dogs are. (I am inconsistent myself, but who said that my choice of what to eat had to be consistent in the first place?)
