Yup. It's like such basic morality that even kids grok it: don't harm others unnecessarily. Easy.

So many families have to normalise hurting other animals for food when the children realise the facts. There's a weird kind of brainwashing that happens as you bring out the corpse, and you know it's from something that was killed for you to eat, but everyone you love is around you smiling and having a good time and eating pieces of it, and it doesn't taste bad so you join in, and over time justify it you yourself because basically everyone you know is doing it.

It's pretty fucked up when you think about it. Like, it doesn't have to be this way. We choose to keep reproducing this culture in each new family.
