indeed. but there ancestors sure are tasty!! i believe vegans hold a form of superiority over non vegans. my personal belief is that if you can't maintain a vegan diet then you should have to raise your own life stock and proceed with the process yourself or hunt if you don't have the land.(like this would ever happen, due to the simplicity of the market place.) sea life is different of course in which should be monitored very closely not to over fish. killing whales is torture for them.......it is by no means a fast process.
