Plants are living beings too, just because they don't have a central nervous system to feel pain or get upset doesn't mean that you aren't maiming and killing a living being.
Plants are related to us, albeit distantly, so why should they bear the brunt of our dietary needs? As you said the lion has no choice but to eat animals, we have no choice but to eat plants or animals. If you choose animals over plants you are being speciesist, which I think was the whole point of this thread, yes?
Sorry if this repeats anyone elses argument but I couldnt be arsed reading 5 pages of posts.
P.S. I wasn't aware CSflim was a professional troll ;P
