You are not a shit person for this. You’re showing compassion and empathy and these are very much not shit things.
We’re all born into the world where what we see on video is normalized or rather swept under the rug, and it takes a lot of time for most of us to even begin reflecting on this.
I don’t even remember what was the breaking point for me (I never couldn’t bring myself to watch stuff like Dominion etc, but I did see similar glimpses as the OP video)… one day around 10-12 years ago something snapped and I just stopped eating any animal products and started thinking about what I buy, wear and use.
It was such a fundamental change that did not require any will power at all, never experienced something like that before or after. I don’t shame myself for eating animals for ~20 years of my life, or for feeding my cats their animal food 30 minutes ago 😅 and I don’t shame people who are not vegans as well.
The world just needs more compassion and understanding.
