If we take the bawang ideology of literally not caring about non-human animals...
When we determine others are too different to readily identify with, it is easier to alienate and disregard their welfare.
To extrapolate/exaggerate.. Would it be easier to stab and murder humans with disregard if you were already a butcher?
That is, I'm directly asking you to examine "the grey area between direct intentional murder and indirect support of unnecessary murderers"
Where do you think that "clear conscience" (like bawang says he has toward non-human-animals killing) may cross the line into false, or repressive states?
In otherwords, there are plenty of murderers in the modern era who have murdered others and claimed they 'didn't feel bad for them' or that 'they feel they have a clear conscience'...
how thick do you believe the gradient between where those murders are (possible repression) and where the average person who consciously indirectly supports unnecessary non-human animal enslavement/killing is?
