I’ve been dealing with this since I got a dog. I’ve found it very difficult to honestly say I’m an animal lover while consuming them. Being able to buy meat at the store or at a restaurant makes it easy to ignore how it got there. I hope lab grown meat becomes a viable option soon

It's the cognitive dissonance. Once you earnestly decide to be honest with yourself, it's like a switch flips

No but rereading my post it definitely sounds like I do. I just meant having a pet changed my connection with animals in general

I know you don’t eat dogs. I was just kidding with you. With my username I just couldn’t resist. Please forgive me!
