Does it confuse you that pain is usually felt when dying... that no matter what the journey passed through: it all leads to the same end? Is it really so insincere to hold an understanding of the world that does not coincide with your own... one so different that you cannot accept that it well be their reality?
Actually, I have no problem with the universe being brutal, it's the unnecessary brutality we add to it that I don't like. Yes, pain is usually felt when dying, but when we are able to lessen that pain, we should. Some of us in the human race, unlike morally apathetic people like yourself, want to lessen the suffering in the world whenever possible, not just sit back and marvel at it.

Reinvent your understanding of sincerity in what others say, as it is not subject to your opinion.
An animal being held down and slowly slaughter is not even in the same realm as two animals who willfully get into the ring. In UFC, a conscious decision is made by the fighters and they have a choice to be there, where as the animal being slaughtered has no say in the matter. All violence is not equal, regardless of your opinion.
