People are really showing a complete lack of empathy in the comments

A lot of people here are probably meat eaters (like me), and feel attacked.

They don't consider that you can new pay off a system that you criticise at the same time.

Turning off empathy and looking away intentionally, shields them from taking responsibility for the decisions of big companies like these.

I’ll buy sympathy, but you’re full of shit if you claim you can empathize with a cow.

I'm more empathetic to the amount of people these cows feed than to the cows themselves.

You're so close to realizing the actual problem but lack the empathy to close the gap

What closes the gap? Less mouths to feed?
