I mean we can also make long lasting clothes out of natural fibers without hurting animals.

Not everywhere. Many places its much more sustainable to make clothes from the animals you are eating and it makes sure that you aren't wasting any of the life you've taken that you need to survive.

You also don't need to eat the animals to survive.

True...and you don't need to live in a house, or use the Internet, or have a bank account, or have a computer/mobile...all things that have caused catastrophic damage to the environment and killed countless animals.

One has to draw a line somewhere- perhaps you shouldn't be holier than though just because you draw the line at "I don't want to see the evidence of the death"

Just a very common case of leftists being anti-exploitation until it involves reconsidering what goes on their plates.
