All it took was a Taiwanese billionaire tech mogul sticking his dick where he shouldn't. At this point, im willing to crowdfund his prostitutes.

They don't care. I don't think you are wrong for caring, just that you aren't being realistic. The life of a chicken has little value for 99% of people.

    Everyone has a line between life that's of value and life that isn't. For some people chickens aren't on the same side as them, for some nothing is on the same side as them. There are extremes that are easy to consider insane or immoral, but things start to get different shades of grey once you get away from the edges.

    It's more about them either not knowing about it or choosing to pretend it isn't happening. Everyone knows. Actually, I think people care more about the environmental impacts than what the animals go through. It sucks but it is what it is.

    You do understand that my point was that it was either ignorance or cognitive dissonance and you made this comment to explain exactly that to me?

    My point is that it's neither. They know and they aren't pretending the animals are okay, it's just that most people don't give importance to the plight of a chicken.

    It's a problem for you and not for them because your morals are completely different, not because you "know the truth".

    As a meat eater I do care, although it's partly because meat tastes better from happy animals. I do think factory farming is immoral due to the treatment of the animals, though, it's just a 2 birds one stone thing.

    It's absolutely a "know the truth" situation though. People wouldn't do to their pets what they pay people to do to other sentient beings that can do exactly what their pets can. Let me revise my first statement then : it's either ignorance, cognitive dissonance or cruelty. And I can't stand either of them.
