..They scream so loudly about animal welfare and don't seem to care much about human welfare.
A lot of them don't care about animal welfare also, the point is they feel they are right, they just KNOW being vegetarian is the right thing to do. no amount of objective evidence is going to change that. totally blind, i'm afraid.
Well, that's the thing. For them, maybe it isn't the wrong/blind thing to do. Just as a rabbit wouldn't eat meat (because it knows instinctively its 'wrong') why not them? They don't need to question - they have instincts and drives and that's all they need.
Follow the heard, follow there instincts.
They are only blind from the perspective of those that can look at things differently.
They are just being true to there nature, and there is nothing inherently wrong with that osit.
Understanding this can be of great help in cases you need to be externally considerate. If you know you cannot question there beliefs (because they don't have the ability too) it saves a whole heap of time and energy and conflict trying too get them to question them!
Distinguishing between asleep, stubborn, wounded or 'lacks the ability to question anything' can be a bit tricky though.
