You shouldn't, because the whole "ethical veg*n" issue is a bogus one.
Ethics are idiosyncratic, they are just made up by the individual (or
local group) to suit personal ego issues of the moment. That is, there is
no -objective- set of ethics against which to compare one's own
ethics-of-the-moment. With no objective standard, one set of ethics is as
valid/invalid as any other.
Thus people attaching "ethical" values to diet is idiotic, but useful as
a quack-detector.
