i get there's a difference between exploitation and extermination, i'm just not seeing how one is "immoral" and the other isn't

I'm personally an amoralist vegan so I can't really speak to that exactly, but it comes down to practicality and health. Veganism is usually about reducing harm as far as is practical (I.e., without risk to your own health), so most vegans make exceptions for medical needs, etc.

reduction of harm is really the best point, and i can't think of an argument against it
