Humans are inherently hypocritical.

Well we're capable of being, but most people try to do what they think is right.

I would've thought if someone finds this horrifying they'd feel they don't have a choice but to change the source of their materials. It's pretty easy to start doing, even if you are overwhelmed with cooking or whatever start learning and just get plant based food when you buy ready meals or eat out etc, stop buying leather belts and shoes and so on.

Or just start keeping in mind where your food is coming from. There are places that don't do things like this

Firstly you have basically no control over that. Any idea where the gelatin in a bag of lollies came from? what about rennet in your cheese? or even the milk?

secondly everywhere is doing shit like this. Profit is the motive, abuse happens. Everywhere goes to the same slaughterhouses and feedlots, chickens all come from the same factories, fish are all suffocated to death in a net.
