Maybe that person is also tired with such egregious violation of animal right? Pigs are smart animal, and I think they deserve good life and the best way to help them is not eat them.

Nobody chooses the genes they are born with. Its a discrimination at its best. We stopped slavery probably 50 years ago. At past, I bet there were people like "Nope! I am not going to do menial job. Its my personal agent, so do whatever you want....".

A human cannot exist without eating. That means I must eat other living things, plants, mushrooms, and animals.

If you believe all living things are conscience to an extent, like I do, then why do we draw the line at animals.

I’ve made peace with the idea that othering things have to suffer and die in order to provide for for me to survive.

That’s not to say we can’t try to reduce the suffering, but ultimately existence is suffering.

Plants don't feel pain. And, even if you want to reduce the suffering of plants, eating animal will harm more plants.
