The first one is that we believe it&#39;s morally okay to dominate animals because it&#39;s natural. The second deception is that we can treat animals morally by utilizing small-scale farms instead of factory farms. And the third deception is self-deception. Specifically, we lie to ourselves and intentionally turn a blind eye to the suffering of animals so we don&#39;t have to confront the fact that eating meat is wrong.</p>
