The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.

Returning to the D12 argument, the OP brought up dairy products, and is now talking about morality.
So, OP, you are perfectly fine with capturing cows, strapping them up to machines, and ultimately making there lives boring, gray, and mechanical, but as soon as one cow dies OH SNAP THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG.
There is a clear cut line with killing, unless it's for survival (which it isn't) then it's wrong.
But firstly, it is for survival, you need B12, and this is the most ethical way to get it.
And secondly, the way an animal is treated is important, and not all animals are treated badly, (whether being killed or not). So, when it is possible, you treat the cow as well as possible. Milking a cow isn't ideal, but it is necessary, unlike killing a cow.
If we weren't a smart enough species to come up with supplemental pills, we WOULD need to kill for survival.
You're points are just based on morals, which cannot hold an argument. Therefore, your argument is invalid.
