Most humans, in particular in Western societies, have a cultural belief that they can use animals to satisfy their desire for meat and this is expressed in the most detrimental way in intensive animal farming. Even though many consumers are worried about these harmful practices, they still want to eat meat, causing them to experience cognitive dissonance, known as the meat paradox. In order to alleviate this tension they (sub)consciously apply coping strategies to fit or change their beliefs and justify their actions. Consumers find a way to down play or deny that animals are harmed trough their meat-eating behaviour. In order to keep this belief they are likely to avoid information about what happens in the meat industry. The industry is aware of this and makes sure the suffering of the animals happens behind closed doors. However, in order for consumers to be able to make an informed moral decision on their meat-eating behaviour we feel that they need to know what is going on behind these doors. According to care ethicists sympathy will give them the guidance they need in making that decision. When consumers see what these animals are going through they will sympathise because they recognize and can relate to their suffering. We will argue that the intervention method called Visual Thinking Strategies can encourage sympathy in consumers by using images as an invitation to pay attention to and reflect on the suffering of animals through dialogue. We believe this will not only challenge their current beliefs about the treatment of animals in intensive animal farming, but may also counter the coping strategies they apply in order for them to justify their meat-eating behaviour.
