 Just think about how fucked up this is. Very simple. Everyday life. Nobody even gives it a thought:
A kind loving farmer takes care of his animals nicely, almost sacrificing all his life for them. Perhaps giving away his own wellbeing for a better food and conditions for his animals
 Strokes them everyday and all that. Makes them his friends. They certainly think he is their friend, they trust him blindly, they think he  is their family, they think there no better life anywhere else. They have no idea how happier they would be in freedom. And then he turns around and kills his friends and eats them. That is not how you should treat your friends. If you want to eat something, you hunt it. You do not trick it into friendship and then betray it by eating it.
I do not look down on any individual farmers. They are tricked into this kind of living like their animals are tricked into trusting them. But this is the level of how things are messed up at details everybody takes for granted.
We must unlearn EVERYTHING, rethink EVERYTHING, be honest, and fix EVERYTHING.
Albeit, in a calm, slow and nice manner. No waves too big. No rushing. No ignoring individuals, no treating everyone the same way. No more bullshit like plandemics or such!
