Veganism and other vegetables

If morality is a social invention for the sake of peace among humans. Is it appropriate to say that veganism and any proper behavior toward animals is a moral thing? Ostensibly, this is a new invention that does not serve humanity and a distortion of the perception of the original concept of morality. Maybe treating animals well is moral only because there is a group of people who demand it. So out of consideration for these people, it is moral. But I don’t think that’s what the poet meant.

Who revealed to you this secret, that morality is a social consensus? If it is a social consensus, it has no validity even in relation to humans.

I ask in their opinion that this is a valid social invention.
PS. The book Citizenship for Maturity revealed this secret to me. And about every time I talked about it with a human being or when I read about how morality was invented.
By the way, I'm not talking about a real commitment, but only about the matter of adhering to, doing, or maintaining the rules of morality in order to reach a certain result, which is the desired interest. About the purposefulness of morality that is not realized when it comes to living.

According to them, ask them.
On consequentialism and the deontology of morality, see the columns that are currently being published (the first one appeared yesterday).
