I once visited a local market in Indonesia pre dawn, when the locals did their shopping before every stall turned into tourist trinkets. And at a pig salesman watched the guy put a pigglet into a bag and the customer just swing it over their shoulder and walked off. Another lady there asked the sales guy "what about animal rights", the guy shrugged and answered "lady, we don't even have human rights"... This was an eye opener for me on how these things work outside my West European bubble.
