both vegetarians and omnis support animal abuse, vegetarians are very likely more aware of it more often, given that they took the effort to exclude meat from their diet, and in my opinion for this reason they are worse than omnivores

there’s no objectively quantifiable metric to measure cruelty, and so i can’t scientifically prove that vegetarians are worse, but their awareness of the animal suffering in my opinion makes them worse

if you do not draw this connection, i just don’t know how else to try to prove my point to you
