I fear the trouble is that to campaign against HLS, one only has to stop doing experiments on cats in one's own bedroom. To campaign against carnivores one has to actually give up bacon sarnies. Although I suppose you can get some mileage out of the idea that to eat an animal you can kill eat humanely; to experiment on one means it may well suffer for some period of time.
I eat meat, and am willing to take responsibility for the idea that animals have to die for that. I can also respect a vegetarian's point of view. The people I want to poke in the eye are those who eat meat so long as it isn't identifiable as part of an animal - a nice hermetic pack of steak or chicken breast is fine, but a whole cow or chicken revolts them.
