You could use the same childish argument for the opposite
“do y'all have a good personal reason to not eat meat too or does it boil down to the typical toddler tantrum of "owh poor naive animals getting murdered!””
not a moral equivalency, but I'm not even concerned about morals in the first place, I'm talking about the difference in self-perceived virtues of saying whether you don't eat meat or vegetables. a vegan proudly and sanctimoniously expressing that they don't meat is annoying as hell, we all know that, but generally speaking, we also know
why they don't eat meat. people who proudly and sanctimoniously express that they don't eat vegetables and/or fruit often don't say
why they don't, and I am genuinely interested in hearing why, because generally speaking, that boils down to personal taste. if a vegetarian/vegan were to say "Ew Meat Icky Fried Chicken Bleh" and that was their sole reason to not eat meat, that would also be childish. political activism is childish too but in a different way.
like I said, I don't need to get into my personal reasons, but I'll say that "owh poor naive animals getting murdered" is not one of them. aka
