Killing to survive (even if there are other alternatives) is much different than killing for fun.
I don't think people here would kill chickens and cows if they absolutely didn't have to eat. The fact that there are alternatives, doesn't make it completely equal. There are lots of reasons why those alternatives aren't good, healthy, viable, cost effective, and yes even palatable for someone.
And the plants example just takes it to a silly extreme. We have to consume something do we not? Again, killing to survive every being on the planet does. Killing for fun? Pretty rare in the animal kingdom.
I do agree that more needs to be done about our food industry. However, that's a different topic and not an equal comparison.
