#2My head spins about how schizophrenic the vast majority of the population is when it comes to meat consumption and love of animals.
People shed tears over pets, yet pay others to abuse animals (factory farming) just to enjoy a meal that's equivalently tasty to easily available options. People will condemn the Japanese for eating whales or dolphins, the Chinese for eating dogs, meanwhile they themselves cause the suffering of significantly more animals.

Sure. But if those same people had a domesticated version of the animal they eat, with a name. Or if that animal was an endangered species. Or both. A lot of these "schizophrenic" people would probably think differently.

Hey, good job conflating a whole bunch of very different aspects to feed your narrative; pretty much guarantees no one can support your position of one.

Cognitive dissonance is a powerful force.

Chickens and cows (and dogs) aren’t threatened with extinction. Different sets of people have different objections, but as far as whales are concerned, it’s mostly a conservation issue.

It’s not just meat, a couple other things cause severe schizophrenia as well: notably, climate change and capitalism.

Yeah, lack of self awareness and cognitive dissonance is rampant. On topic of food it’s obvious since, well, everybody eats.
Just try asking people around how egg production works. Almost no one around me even had a clue. I even got an answer that chicken lays eggs once a year.
