however, I find the hypocrisy interesting, even in myself, that we are outraged because we are seeing what we do to animals that we all essentially end up eating. unless you don't eat, wear or use animal products/byproducts you really have no reason to be upset. do we? isn't it just upsetting because we are slapped in the face with what we (in general) do to animals that end up on our plates? is it the out of sight, out of mind theory and this forces us to see it?
I ask simply to see how others theorize it.

I think that sums it up perfectly. We are outraged, not only by the act itself, but by the very fact that we cannot reconcile our anger with our own private exploitation of animals in our daily lives (well, except me, since I don't eat or wear animals
). In a word: dissonance.
