Then I cannot comprehend why you'd want to do something that came from suffering and death, for No good reason.

I see no value in myself being vegan as of now and do not think it'd create anything positive. I do not think it'd save the life of any animals either although with a small possibly. In my ways I have no feeling of infringing upon free will, so I'd hardly consider my ways as polarizing negatively.
You won't make a difference. Not today. Not tomorrow. Probably Not next week either.
BUT, collectively, the more of us who go vegan DO make a difference. We DO have an impact on the industry! This is proven. Meat consumption has dropped dramatically. One national news article said that meat consumption has plummeted and this is directly due to raised awareness by vegans in addition to the medical research showing the obvious health benefits of a plant-based diet.
So, respectfully, you are simply mistaken that your choice means nothing and doesn't have any impact. Why do you belittle your contribution? Each person has value. YOU have value!
The power is in the collective. We each contribute to the consensual reality.
In addition to direct supply and demand, which is standard in any industry and cannot be denied, you also have value in the choices you make, in terms of consciousness feeding into the collective consciousness. We live in a holographic universe, and each person - including YOU - does have an impact on the reality we are creating. Not just on a physical level, but on an energetic level.

Anything? So a pedophile can 'love' his victim and still polarize STO? Well that's great news for pedophiles. They often say that they 'love' little children.

Why do you leave out action? Of course intent is important. But that doesn't mean that action - choice - has No importance. Both are important.

The concept of 'beyond polarity' is often confused with the sinkhole of indifference. One must first get past the sinkhole of indifference and choose a polarity before one can go beyond polarity.

So to answer your question, I do believe destruction can be offered in love, and I do believe it is one lesson that is to be learned by all.
So do you think those billions of animals are being raped/tortured/destroyed in love?
