The reality is that most people don't care, or don't know enough to care, or don't care enough to know. Switching to a meatless diet isn't an insurmountable hurdle, it's just inconvenient. And even that small inconvenience isn't something most people want to bother with.
Similarly, on the human front, a Westerner deploying even a little cash in the poorest parts of the world can save hundreds of lives. But most people don't care. They have their lives to live, mouths to feed, their local homes and neighborhoods to take care of. Caring about the suffering of millions of strangers thousands of miles away, regardless of species, isn't something we're good at, or care much for.

- ramraj07 6y agoWhile this is a fairly accurate explanation of why things are the way they are, it doesn't mean it can't ever change. We don't care in general sure, but the only hope we can have is that we care slightly more today than we did yesterday. Everyone in the spectrum of poverty hopefully has taken a positive step in this direction in the past few decades, and hopefully we continue and accelerate.
