I know this comment won't be accepted too well here, but as people become vegetarians/vegans even, but more importantly start seeing animals as other beings with souls - it becomes clear how barbaric our society STILL is. Again, only visible to some people that have rejected some pretty common norms.
It is interesting because in those times it was politically and socially acceptable to be OK with other humans being sacrificed.
A man explained how he hit a deer today, and I just filled with sadness, but his immediate POV was getting his car fixed, his tire no longer aligned and how his drive is wobbly.
As a species we really don't have a built in moral system, it's nearly 100% socially driven morals.
