It can be difficult for one to undo a lifetimes worth of conditioning. We are taught from a very young age that animals are dumb and that they are not as valuable as humans. It's unsurprising that by adulthood the majority of people begin to see animals only for what their value is to a human being.
Watching the documentary "Earthlings" and understanding the true depth of which animals are exploited just for our gain, is sure to make the majority of people reevaluate just how much an animal's life, and an animal's happiness, is truly worth.
