This proves too much. Most of these arguments would profess to hold veganism as the superior policy for sapient wolves (who are sufficiently advanced to have developed cheap dietary supplementation), degrading the moral imperative of tearing living flesh from the bones.
See proving too much. In the thought experiment where you consider sapient wolves who hold violent consumption of sentient creatures as an important value, the policy of veganism is at least highly questionable. An argument for such a policy needs to distinguish humans from sapient wolves, so as to avoid arguing for veganism for sapient wolves with the same conviction as it does for humans.
Your argument mentions relevant features (taste, tradition) at the end and dismisses them as “lazy excuses”. Yet their weakness in the case of humans is necessary for the argument’s validity. Taste and tradition point to an ethical argument against veganism, that doesn’t not exist as you claim at the start of the article. Instead the argument exists and might be weak.

I am sorry, I do not get your point here. Could you elaborate what you mean?
