Animals are sentient obviously ?  In terms of pain and feelings . Do you mean because humans can do maths ?

You only need to tag me once or is this like an excited kid calling out for someone twice in a row?

No you are right, sapiens is probably a better term.

Yes exactly right 

This is the thing , do you really think that because humans can do maths and they can play a guitar , they deserve to feel the sensation of having their throat slit any less than a human ?

Genuinely ??

Do you think wild animals deserve to be eaten alive by predators? Or do you think we have a duty to intervene in nature to save the poor animals?

These aren't things that aren't done for fun. Its part of survival. I can see the argument but the problem is that I just don't see veganism being tenable on a societal scale for multiple reasons. And there are probably things that make up your life that you don't pay attention that are arguably unethically sourced, like your phone or your clothes. You don't question how your vegetables where made either with pesticides or your countries geopolitics. Right now your tax money is going to bombing people abroad. But farm animals is the one thing you are ideological about?

There's a degree of entitlement to wanting everyone to adopt your views on a thing that isn't inherently immoral. Animal husbandry isn't needless cruelty for the sake of it.
