Interpret my statement as a contrast to the disconnect the usual person has from bloodshed and killing, vs one who experiences it first hand or is aware of it.

Not to justify humans eating meat or killing, just to say "wow, there's a lot of it". That's the stage I'm at.
I thought that would be obvious when I went on to talk about how things are "better" because we kill them quickly vs wolves who disregard the feelings of their food, which I think is a good thing. Humans attempt (for the most part), to inflict minimal suffering when killing. We probably also drive off predators. We also try to abstain from killing young animals (at least before industrialized farming).
One can care about the anthropomorphized "feelings" of animals whether or not they are subject to any of our "morals".
