Exactly. But just as desensitization to Action X does not make Action X less immoral, neither does it make Action X immoral. You consider cow-eating as equally monstrous as murder for your own reasons (which I'd charitably assume are not *purely* sentimental), reasons that may not apply to us.
Instead of appealing to sentimentalism, try to realize that this is matter of what people hold as sacred (e.g. human life and, in your case, farm animals) and what they do not (e.g. tasty, tasty pig and, in the case of the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement, humans), and realize that it will be impossible to change people's minds unless you understand where their priorities lie. In my case, as of this very minute, having a nice bacon cheeseburger is high on my priority list. See you guys later!
