I am "speaking from anger"? You are qualified to say from what angle/emotion I am speaking? I don't think so.

Are you really suggesting you can slit an animal's throat or blast its brains out and then feast on its flesh and do so as an act of love? The only act of love would have been not to kill it in the first place.

Because something is bigger and stronger and has the mental capacity to be more devious and cunning if so misdirected, that gives it a right to subjugate and destroy anything else that it pleases? This is the sum of your argument it seems to me.

Man wasn't created to hurt and kill.

Following a vegan diet will not in itself advance the soul (though one could argue that eating the flesh of another ensouled being, albeit smaller and weaker than you, is an act of defilement upon your soul, but that's for another thread) though if it is done through compassion that will assist its progress.
It's value comes into play when combined with the other elements of an enlightened /spiritual lifestyle.
