I'm completely puzzled and disturbed by the angry responses of loved ones when I've dared to point out the suffering of the animals they regularly choose to ingest.....as if I'm being deeply critical and abusive towards them. I'm accused of "trying to ruin their day", type thing. Why such anger? I'm aware that that's a very common response.....which I truly don't understand. Why don't they just shrug it off instead?
