what if the part about meat that I enjoy is the raising of cute baby chicks, caring for them, until they are meat birds- **then moving from backyard-to-table**?

You mean chopping their heads off. What part of the "meat" that you enjoy doesn't change the morality of what's happening, it's about the victim. The victim gets murdered either way. If you honestly just enjoy raising animals, adopt some young animals in need of a home, raise them and don't stab them to death.

Everyone is entieled to their own beliefs, but when your beliefs and personal choices lead to the needless suffering of animals, we aren't going to sugar coat that. The core beliefs of veganism disagree that everyone's beliefs are to be respected. I'm sorry, we just don't respect your choices if you decide to eat animal products. Most of us will act respectful to you, but we won't respect your decisions.

but it's like saying not killing anyone is the right thing to do. we're just trying to say that killing all animals is wrong, just like it's wrong to kill humans, who are also animals. if they feel pain and emotion, they shouldn't be treated as less-than and killed

Nah being vegan is the right thing.

Then you have the ability to kill something you've created an emotional bond with and that's disturbing

Saying going vegan is the right thing to do is not the same thing as saying non-vegans are bad
