For those seeking to reduce #animalsuffering, this dilemma is known as the small body problem. The problem is simple: smaller animals must be killed in greater numbers to produce the same amount of meat gained from larger animals. Consequently, choosing to eat smaller over larger animals results in a higher number of animals experiencing suffering and slaughter.

Vystopia - feeling of anguish suffered by ethical vegans when confronted with the attitudes of mainstream society towards animal suffering. Such a destructive feeling of powerlessness over animal suffering...

The many sick, unfortunate animals...
If nobody takes care of the dead animals, how terrible it must be for the sick animals! Who takes care of them? Or do they suffer without care until they die? Because they no longer make a profit?

The assumptions underlying our lifestyles are rarely questioned as often as they should be. Take the meat, dairy, and egg industries, for example. There are the blatant violations of ethical treatment that many people know about - cramped space, living in their own filth, fed hormones to fatten them up, etc. But far more insidious are the assumptions we *don't* question.

In a modern enlightened world, unhealthy diet/excessive meat consumption is not necessary
More #animalwelfare less #animalsuffering -
“Many people like eating #meat, but most are reluctant to harm things that have minds. […] This dissonance motivates people to deny minds to animals. […] Animals considered appropriate for human consumption are ascribed diminished mental capacities. […] Meat eaters are motivated to deny minds to food animals when they are reminded of the link between meat and #AnimalSuffering.”
Just imagine you were used since childhood to eating (puppies of) farmed dogs, cats, dolphins and monkeys. Animals crammed into dark little places, maimed and overfed for the minimum number of days necessary for their meat to be economically viable. Imagine that everyone around you had done so for as long as you can remember. And imagine people kept cute shrimp, hens, goats and sheep as pets, giving them names, taking them to the vet, buying food and toys for them, etc.
Can you see the issue now? Are you willing to break out of that cognitive dissonance?

@Holger @animalsavemovement I wanted to say the same thing or at least use hashtags, which can be filtered by HSPs.
Fitting hashtags would be: #animalcruelty #animalsuffering #inhumane #sociopath
I was an activist too, but being confronted with negative stuff all day isn't healthy and those pictures are really disturbing and I don't support stuff like this for many years.

Yep, tax animal agriculture out of existence. As much as I like the idea, there is a risk we'd end up with more animal suffering, at least in the short- and medium-term.A meat tax has little consumer support, so most likely a tax would foremost or only be applied to the flesh of those animals that contribute most to global warming, ruminants. And consumers might just switch to eating more chickens, pigs and fishes.
It's explained here in more detail:

"nice" seems an inappropriate adjective in this context, doesn't it?
