"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."
-John Lennon

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.
But now that we have, we don't need to kill for survival.
Also, vegetarians eat plants, which produce Oxygen. When you eat all those plants, you are killing the Earth faster, when we kill animals which produce CO2 with their poop, burps, and farts, we are helping mother Earth.
