But, once the person becomes aware of how much the animals suffer, then the only way to continue supporting that is to harden their heart. In a court of law this is called 'callous disregard' - to continue to do something, while knowing that it causes harm to others.
If you think I'm wrong, then please explain how one could knowingly and directly support the torture and killing of a human child, just for pleasure, with an open heart. The principle is the same.

Being part of the societies we exist within is pretty much directly supporting sufferings of every human life that has been shattered by it. That includes many children's death.
That's INdirect. I specifically asked for explanation of directly supporting the torture and killing of a human child just for pleasure, with an open heart.

We all contributed to this reality. The question now is: Do we want to continue to create it? Knowingly, directly, unnecessarily supporting an industry that causes suffering, IS creating that reality!
