Mm I mean I agree just not fully, I think most people just don't make the full connection. For most people it's like saying to stop using your right hand, it's causing mass suffering. The initial reaction is to say that's just ridiculous. It's just so normalized and ingrained, and meals are very important for a lot of people. It's that lack of connection between what you do and the actual effects, and also just people not wanting to know (a friend i know has an idea it's bad but specifically tries to avoid learning anything about it). So not necessarily they don't have empathy, it's just willingly or unknowingly not making the connection between their actions and the actual animal.
