Don't play dumb, people are downvoting you because you pretend that seeing a picture of a steak evokes the same feelings as seeing a video of a kitten being tortured to death.

For people who aren't hypocritical or suffering from cognitive dissonance, it is kind of the same. Sure it's somewhat different, it's just the after picture of torture and not active torture. There's a reason laws prevent videotaping inside slaughterhouses. Cause it would turn off so. many. people. "How the sausage is made" is a phrase for a reason. Having statistically increased suicide rates in the industry speaks volumes.

Ok so it's different, got it. For a second I was concerned that ya'll were really getting distressed when exposed to a picture of a meal, in the same way a video of an actively tortured animal would distress most people.

So you know they're different, and yet pretend they're the same to give yourself a moral high ground. Kinda hypocritical. Or do you suffer from cognitive dissonance?

A steak is literally the cut up corpse of a cow

Right. And do you have the same emotional response when seeing a picture of a steak and when seeing a video of a kitten being tortured and then burned alive?
