"It’s callousness that lets slaughterhouse workers kill, egg farmers “cull,” and dairy farmers separate calves from their mothers. Callousness helps to explain how those students at Green Mountain College –some of whom had taken tours of slaughterhouses– voted to kill and eat Bill and Lou. Callousness explains why it’s not true that “if slaughterhouses had windows, everyone would be vegetarian.” Slaughterhouse workers are not, by and large, vegetarians. However horrified they may initially have been by the blood and gore or the terror and killing, they get used to it. They develop callouses—not on their hands, but on their hearts."
