Well, I'd have to say that most humans don't treat themselves with respect, so why do people who care expect these same humans to treat animals with dignity? We've got over %70 of the American population that are physical blobs, with minimal meat tissue, spiritually dead, with the Canadian population not that far behind, and the rest of the world humans also leaning that way. Humans and self-abuse go hand in hand, so it follows that animals are killed and tortured. You can't expect anything more from humans as a collective.
