Some people dismiss animal exploitation by saying things like, "Yeah, it sucks how they're treated, but meh-don't really care!" They've convinced themselves that they don't have the capacity to worry about animal abuse. They usually admit that they don't agree with it, but they accept it

how to run a second copy of firefox in a separate address space with no connection to the first?
