"It is in the context of these qualities—qualities that constant interaction with animals make impossible to ignore—that the psychological "benefit" of factory farming becomes clear. Its impersonal, highly rationalized structure is designed to protect those involved from the emotional consequences of killing" (McWilliams). The killing of these animals is not considered murder because these corporations sugar coat the reality of what it really is.
