128. Kill defenders?
That's an odd way to describe the vast majority of people who eat meat. Anyone who eats meat participates in the killing, hanging, and butchering of animals. Humans have been eating meat, when they could get it, since there were humans.

I realize that you don't like that fact, but there it is. You will have little success in convincing people to do what you want by calling them names. That's a losing strategy, and all it accomplishes is to make people shake their heads at the effrontery of it.

If you want to convert people to a vegetarian diet, the way is not to call them killers or "kill defenders." It's to show them, in a positive way, that a vegetarian diet is better for them. While that's a tough sell, it's better than snide name-calling.
