A lot of animal suffering is because people become hardened, or inured to what they go through. Those things become blind spots.
Many children show they can feel. They have empathy. Then sometimes when they become adults this is gone. Why? I'm not sure but maybe it's because adults are exposed to many hurtful things day after day, on the news, in their lives, etc. They form 'callouses' on their feelings. Chickens going through this become just 'food in transport'.....as if they were sacks of flour or watermelons.
