How incredibly backwards it is that we live in a society where “wise” & “intelligent” adults endorse the needles, systematic & cruel barbarism of slaughterhouses, while “naive” & “ignorant” children are born knowing better.

There really is a very good reason why we take our young children to pick apples but cannot morally justify taking them to witness in person where their meat comes from … You used to know why that is the case, and yet somewhere along the way you forgot.

Do you remember now?

“Observance of customs and laws can very easily be a cloak for a lie so subtle that our fellow human beings are unable to detect it … We may even be able to deceive ourselves in the belief of our obvious righteousness. And yet deep down, below the surface of every average man’s conscience, he hears another voice whispering, “There is something not right.” And it keeps on doing so, no matter how fully his incorrect behavior is supported by public opinion or by his own culture’s moral code.” ~ Carl Jung
