This was the doc that sold me fully on going vegan.
If you like meat, learn more about where it comes and the practices you are promoting to access it, then decide whether or not to continue.
Here's a fantastic video on why eating the eggs of backyard chickens is no better for the animals and still ethically wrong, because when an animal is seen as a resource, it is never a pet.
Chickens do not normally lay an egg daily, they only do it because we take the eggs they've laid. And that, for years on end, is hell on their bodies.
Which is a terrible thing to do to any animal you love.

If I start with the conclusion that backyard chickens are also bad (because veganism is ethical), then yes, I can get back to that conclusion.
You're arguing that exploiting an animal is ethical?
I'd argue that "exploiting" "animal" and "ethical" have definitions contingent on one's intellectual and moral framework, and so it's a bit silly to assume that we can arrive at at universal, objective truth value for that moral claim.

Oh crap I hadn't realized that this is applicable to even positions I don't like what am I going to do now.

Nah that argument is just fine.

That'd problem for the argument if that were a conclusion to that argument.

Nope, it isn't. It's a good argument, you just don't want to bother to understand it. As exemplified by your introducing concepts that it doesn't even impinge on like "judging". I'm not a vegan, so being able to judge people isn't an important part of my framework.
I'm not interesting in "judging" a genocidal dictator from some objective moral standpoint, I'm interested in building a coalition to stop them , which I can do even in the absence of objective moral superiority on my part.
and what does "naturally designed" even mean?
