I can't play music, and I despise musicians, but I am an exceptional illustrator.
That's actually cool, show some of your work.
I will, if you look a pig in the eyes and then bludgeon it to death and give me proof that you did it.
What do you illustrate? 18th century naval ships?

No, I want you to kill. The pig is the closest thing to killing a man, so it has to be a pig, intellect, inner life and all.

Honestly, given the language you're using, I suspect you don't feel quite right about eating meat, you're clearly defensive about it. It's something humans have been trying to rationalize for millennia.

I'll link to some slaughterhouse footage. Maybe you won't like what you see.
