This is so strange to me, because everyone I’ve talked to agrees in theory but has this disconnect when it comes to reality.

Thought experiment: if I’ll give you a cookie, but only if you kick a dog, would you do it?

I’d bet nearly everybody would say fuck no, and probably be at least a little pissed even to be asked. Somehow “making an animal suffer to have a food you enjoy” is wrong to everybody at this personal level, but add enough steps in between the cause and effect and suddenly people are happy to have animals abused and then slaughtered for them to enjoy their meals. Just looking at the response to your comment (6 upvotes and 5 down atm) shows this in action - to anyone disagreeing with @the_q’s point, do you also think kicking a dog for a cookie is okay in my hypothetical? If not, where do you draw the line?
