The only time I've ever really had a problem with people doing something I don't agree with in that respect in front of me is when people seek out bugs to kill in my presence for no good reason. Particularly if they're not even especially afraid of said bug and are just like, "Oh, is that a beetle?" *steps on beetle*. That's kind of bothersome.

That would annoy me too. Not the fact that the beetle dies so much, but the lack of respect for you and the life of the beetle. I don't necessarily think of the killing of animals as immoral in itself, but I think animals should be treated with respect and keeping animals for meat and other things should be seen as a trade. We get meat and other products from animals, it's only fair they get something back, f.ex a happy life with minimal suffering.
