The definitions of extreme are:
"of a character or kind farthest removed from the ordinary or average"
and
"utmost or exceedingly great in degree".
Sometimes, the ordinary and average is not good. There was a time when owning and raping women was ordinary and average, and affording them the same rights as men was extreme.
Despite mankind's claims to uphold moral and ethical standards, an average of 100 billion animals are unnecessarily killed every year in the name of superiority, pleasure, tradition, and convenience.
Killing this many animals, in addition to torturing them their entire lives in farms, is an utmost and exceedingly great degree of cruelty.
Surely, being far removed from the normalization of violence, and showing the greatest degree of compassion towards innocent victims is a better thing to do than to support this extreme cruelty in order to be normal.
In terms of energy and effort expended, veganism is more economical and therefore less extreme than filtering our resources through animals and going through the effort of attacking and killing someone who doesn't want to die and who tries to fight back.
