Number of animals killed in the world by the meat, dairy and egg industries since you opened this webpage, not including the billions of marine animals killed annually.

Some calls it cognitive dissonance.

Next time you say that you're not bothered by the thought of animal slaughter, but find it disgusting that PETA would interrupt your meal with photos of the animals you're eating while they're being slaughtered, think about what you're really saying. 

What I hear you saying is that you wish you weren't bothered by it, but really, you are. This tells me that despite the fact that you'd dearly love not to care, on some deep level you know that this is wrong. That's not a bad thing at all, but it helps if you don't ignore it. 

It's called cognitive dissonance, and it's your subconscious telling you to pull your head out of your ass. Give it a try, I'm sure you'll enjoy the new view.
