The Individualistic Nature of Animals

There's so much cognitive dissonance that comes into play, and there's this leap to really embracing the individuation of these animals. And i feel like society is ture to entrench that cognitive disstance and prevent us from empathizing with the individualistic nature of these animals for our food. We've oterized humans throughout history to findto them provide a justificationo causing unnecessary harm. And that's what we do with farmed animals. We've otherized them. So by kind of assigning just this one characteristic, all these broad characteristics, to an entire species, it makes what we do to them more palatable,. because we're not viewing them as individuals.
