Why isn't anyone getting freaked out over that?

which feeds into my point that people only care about that when they see it.. we KNOW it happens.. we're told from a young age to eat our brussel sprouts or whatever because the biafrans would kill for them.. but it's normalised.. we don't do anything about it until an add comes on tv with 60 seconds of footage of brown babies dying with their faces covered in flies.
you "know" on one level but imagery makes you confront it. It's just human nature we don't go around with mega ovaries crying all day about every dolphin ever not saved from unfriendly tuna.
We need to be slapped back to the reality of the situation.
