I agree that vegans have the moral high ground and that consuming animal products is morally wrong. With that said, if you can't see why most people find it distasteful to equate the Holocaust with eating animals, I can't help you. Mind you, I'm not even talking about using the word 'genocide' to refer to animal slaughter, which I can, to some degree, understand from a vegan perspective. But specifically using the word Holocaust—at the very least, I must say I find it in bad taste.
That makes sense, and I agree. I was initially guessing the origin of the post's title, wouldn't be the word I'd choose either.
Even "genocide" is wrong, mind you; it supposes the eventual destruction of the target group as an objective. Current animal exploitation not only tortures and kills, it also makes sure there's always new victims available. A closer parallel may be slavery.
