Some of us feel disturbed when they see a dead corpse or when they see the carcass of an animal like a dog or a cat. Some of them are also so disturbed that they refused to go near them.Yet, these same people will not feel the least perturbed when they see animals that had been slaughtered for the tables. Animals such as chicken, ducks, cows, ram, etc.
The other day, I had taken a lady friend to the abbattior for some business. I know this lady as someone who is very sensitive to the sight of dead bodies. She would shudder when she saw a dead cat or news clips of dead people on TV.
Yet, when we walked into a room where cows were slaughtered, she was not the least disturbed. This is in spite of the fact there was a large cow that was hung up right in front of us and it is dripping with blood.
When I asked her could she take the sight, she replied"It's okay, it's only food."
Why is it some people can react so differently under different circumstances?
