Mostly ignorance and selfishness. The majority avoid connecting the dots whenever the truth is inconvenient. They need to be dragged kicking and screaming into the future.

"God created all for us to enjoy. Why would he instill within it the sense of self with which to suffer?" Is a paraphrased response I've received when posing this question to a few friends.

Idk same reason he gave us suffering?

My reponse has always been "If that's the case, why make it appear as though it's suffering to us?" And they usually respond with some level of "it's a test". Personally I think it's just a wild set of mental loopholes they engage with to justify not feeling any guilt or reverance for the creatures they are consuming but I genuinely don't know.
