I understand it to a point but there's a lot of mental gymnastics going on there at the same time to accept one and be upset at the other.
You'd understand it even more if you'd been raised as an nth generation farmer. Humans are great at mental gymnastics. We all are.

Really? I don’t think it is so weird - it is pretty normal to think that we as humans do eat meat and that is part of a hierarchy of life, but that doesn’t mean that the lives of those animals mean nothing. Isn’t it just trying to be an ethical meat eater to accept that we may still rear and kill animals but if we’re going to do so, we should value that?
