I eats meat and love my pets so i presume you post was aimed at insulting me (and others like me).
If you find you are bring mocked i think that may be for the feverish / born-again attitude. Your personal choices are just that, you should feel confident yourself but there is no need to attack others - it will rarely convince anyone of your opinions.
Now for some fun discussion points:
If we were all vegetarian and stopped keeping pets thus would result in mass extinction, is this what you want?
Milk is only available because cakes are killed, does this fit into your ethics?
hundreds of male chicks are killed to source the female chicks needed to keep egg production going, how do you feel about this?
Animal products are used in plastics, tires, shampoo, even probably in the computer you are using. Do you feel the need to stop using these?
Is you use these products, or in fact live a normal modern life, you are benefitting from the death of animals.
I would suggest that improving animal welfare would be the best first step to follow
