The taking of a conscious animal life is not automatically or by default a morality-neutral action, simply because someone who wants to do it chooses not to want to think about it.

Again, you're trying to rig the game in your direction by using loaded language. Like it or not, you don't get to play "king of the hill" by announcing something like "killing animals is horrible" and then knocking down all justifications offered with "that's just not good enough".

As for your "fact" that people who want to kill animals don't want to think about it, I don't believe it's true.
