This is why I disagree with vegans who don’t want to watch footage from slaughterhouses and stuff like that. “Oh, I already know what happens there, so I don’t need to traumatize myself.” Okay, I’m not going to force anybody to watch anything, but I will say one thing. It’s really hard to go back to reading meat after that. It makes it much more visceral, in a very literal sense.
It reminds me of that saying “To know and not to do is not to know”. Once you know, there really isn’t any going back.
