Oh really? I'd have never guessed ^^ But it is those things, most peaceable and humble of all life, which are most deserving of death?
Why are our responses to stimuli any more important than a plant's? Because ours are more elaborate?
Why is a cow's more important than a lettuce? Because a cow is more like us than a lettuce?

Just gonna ignore these questions because they are silly.

I consider the source of excessive guilt with regard to their consumption a symptom of thanklessness

The guilt is over the massive amount of pain the industrialized meat industry causes to complex mammals, that are very capable of experiencing that pain on a level close enough to humans for it to be atrocious.
And it's not excessive. Very few people feel an appropriate amount of guilt for how disgusting this really is. I know I don't.
That part of Japanese culture is silly: "Oh thank you Chicken for living your entire life in a dimly lit 3x3 foot wire cage, I'm so thankful we threw you into the shredder so I can enjoy these chicken nuggets". Whether you think that death had a purpose or not doesn't matter, what I'm talking about is abusing that fucking chicken while it was alive, which is wrong.
