Quote:Don't compare "killing" an apple to killing a pig, the former we can do in the comfort of our living room, the other is something so repulsive and contrary to what we feel is right, our innate ethics, that we hide the act away behind fences and walls and pay other people to do it for us and to print pretty pictures on the packaging to never remind us of what was necessary for our pitiful few minutes of taste.
Actually a rather recent phenomena and only in the industrialized world. Not all that long ago slaughtering animals was a family affair conducted right on the farm. You need a little perspective on history.
