I'm curious though, if you had sufficient resources, would you attempt to convert carnivorous animals to herbivores as well?

Yes. Predation seems quite painful. Wouldn't you agree?

I think it is non-obvious that reducing predation is a worthwhile use of resources. I do appreciate your consistency in applying your altruistic principles though.
