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.
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.

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?
