maybe you're not any more selfish than the average person, maybe you're suffering and overwhelmed? I think you would care more if you watched something like "Earthlings", yes :(
I appreciate it's difficult when people around you encourage eating meat/ it's seen as a part of your culture/ religion - although (I may be wrong) as far as I am aware, there is nothing in Islam saying you HAVE to eat meat
idk - has positive change never happened in society then? not that slavery doesn't still exist, but arguably it doesn't exist on the same level that it used to - because people campaigned against it
I don't think I have any more empathy or kindness than you or anyone here. I just (I feel like this comes across patronising when I don't mean it to at all) think I've thought about this particular topic more than the average person has, maybe. I grew up vegetarian, not realising the intense suffering the dairy/egg industry causes, and then I learnt about what really happens to animals, and knowing what I know now, having seen disturbing, awful, footage - I just can't contribute to it any more. I am definitely flawed in many, many many other ways.
