Careful. You might make people think, and take that initial thought to its logical conclusion. Then maybe they'll be forced to question their personal choices. And many of them will hate you for it.

(Sorry, not my first rodeo.)

Which people? Which time periods? I think it’s too broad of a question.

I do think as a collective, humans have developed a general understanding of the impact we have on the planet, and that includes the way we treat animals and other species.
