Through the violence he suffered he ends all violence. By his death all death ends. Samsara has met its conclusion. The resurrection has broken the cycle of death and rebirth! The age of Kali yuga is at the end! The path of veganism can become a prophetic sign for those awaiting the resurrection. I join you in your castigation. Thank you for the post.

It might help you to consider that in many Asian traditions, laypersons are not expected to become absolute vegetarians, or at least not overnight. In China, for example, Buddhists might choose to be vegetarian on certain lunar days. A good friend of mine in China not only eats vegetarian on certain lunar days, but he chooses to not eat beef at all. Just by doing this, he's already reducing his impact. Buddhists have a more 'evolutionary' view of ethics. He's not a vegetarian, but in his community's eyes, O Lordy he's tryin'!
