There seems to be a psychological difference

We - just - don't - eat - or - kill - pets.

When I was growing up, mom bought a dozen young chickens.
We raised them for eggs. We found that we had to give them
away, rather than use them for food.

When my daughters were small, we had a bunny named Harvey.
Once I went to the market and bought rabbit for dinner.
Did my girls want to eat it? H*ck no!

There is just a difference.
Vegins probably look at it somewhat differently.

I am not a vegan, but at least vegetarian in that I won't eat anything
that had to be killed. Eggs and cheese are OK for me, but I think it's
much the same. I care about all animals and don't want to profit from
their suffering. Now I know eggs are often from battery hens who do
suffer, but I try to get eggs from free range chickens when I can.
