This explanation sounds almost too simple, but I think part of it is definitely related. However, I also think the issue is much more complex...partly deeply rooted in beliefs, traditions, narratives, but also in false convictions that are already ideological and thus exclude everything else in order to maintain their validity...We live in such a paradoxical world, and it makes me incredibly sad that so much violence is perpetrated against beings who cannot defend themselves because they have no voice.

Look into the eyes of a cow...She has a look full of trust, even when humans exploit her. And the same applies to all other domesticated animals.
