I think when you are more removed from the outcomes of your choices, kayleigh, it is easy not to feel emotionally affected. If you could see the full impact your choices have on individual animals, it might be harder to ignore.
For example, many people might not want to buy wool if they knew that the sheep from whom the wool came was going to be sent to some Middle Eastern country where people would slit her throat and cut off her legs while she is fully conscious, as is shown in the video about Australian sheep farming:
Wool: Australia's Secret Shame
I actually don't feel physically sick watching the video, but it makes me feel
emotionally sick, so I would never buy wool since this pays people to raise sheep and let them be treated this way.
