Why should someone apologize for breaking a taboo? Because breaking a taboo upsets people? Why care?

And isn't it taboo to hurt animals? Doesn't our culture tell us that we should be kind to animals?

My point in mentioning how most meat-eaters I've met don't seem to care that I feel sad when they eat animals was to show that Tore seems to be an unusual meat-eater because he wrote: "If someone cried and begged me not to kill the fish, I would also feel a moral obligation towards that person."

It isn't just that I don't like people eating meat in my presence, hip hop. I don't like them eating animals at all. The reason: I dislike what people are doing to animals to get them to the plate. I don't have to see something with my own eyes to know what is going on behind the scenes:
