There is no inherent cognitive dissonance from eating meat, so if you feel that then it's on you and your morals. I'm not sure anyone here can decide how to fix that for you.
- barbs 8y agoSo...denial then?
- subjectsigma 8y agoNope. I know this might come as a shock, but some people think differently than you! I have killed animals for my own meat before and didn't feel a thing, except a little grossed out that there was blood on my hands. Meat is not murder. You are free to feel differently but that doesn't make me "in denial".
- barbs 8y agoRegardless of whether you feel something when you slaughter animals, you are aware that animals feel pain and suffer, no? The post was talking about the current mass-production system of meat prpduction, with slaughterhouses and terrible conditions for the animals. It's easy to forget that when you see the final product.
- subjectsigma 8y agoI do not think we have a moral obligation to eliminate the suffering of animals. Reduction of it is always preferable but sometimes not feasible. Take from that what you will.
