Can you think of any situation in which meat-eaters *should* apologize for the harm they're doing to the animal kingdom? Will you eat any animal without any twinge of conscience? A dolphin? A dog?

Only if they violate their cultures taboos on what isn't acceptable.

My bursting into tears when a relative brought home a pheasant he shot didn't end his pursuit of hunting as a pleasure sport. Killing animals is great fun, after all.
My bursting into tears at a restaurant after relatives ordered lobsters, who I knew were boiled alive before they were brought dead to the table, didn't affect the people at all.

Right; they should alter their behavior to please you. All your relatives, friends, and all people in the restaurant. "Sorry folks, there's a vegan in the restaurant - you can't eat meat in her presence!"
