I don't believe they do,


and that is the thrust of your problem.


My problem! By 'my' you are also including the millions of other
people who would rather not exploit animals when they don't need to?


Yes specifically your problem it seems, obviously shared with a subset
of evangelical vegans, but far from the majority IME.

We have several vegetarian family members, and one vegan. The vegan made
their decision for their own reasons and we respect that. If feeding
them, we make the effort to provide food they will enjoy. We have sat in
a restaurants together (remember when that was a thing?) and enjoyed
whatever meals we ordered together. Yet at no point did they feel the
need to take out a megaphone and start lecturing anyone and everyone in
earshot that by eating that lasagna, they are participating the RAPE of
a cow or any other nonsense.

Pleasant conversation, and enjoyment of a shared meal being far more
likely to engender people to their way of thinking, than the megaphone
program of harassment you seem to be following.
