There is a limit to the amount of upset one can feel before it either becomes debilitating or certain sub-conscious self-preservation mechanisms kick in and dial down the empathy. Unbelievable cruelties are happening all over the world at this very second. All of them are bad, and trying to grade them is a grotesque affair with no good outcome. If I tried to subject myself to upset over all of them, I'd do nothing but sink into non-stop depression. I propose a charitable reading of parent: they are upset about the practice and don't condone or support it in any way, but when it comes to some ladder of priorities in solving the most dire issues of the world, there are sadly bigger cruelties committed on animals than this. All of it needs solving, but given limited resources we still need to (sadly) pick the bigger evil?
