May 2013

against the sale of fur at Joske's, then the premier department store in San Antonio. One of the local TV reporters interviewed a sales clerk in the fur department and asked if she felt compassion for the creatures killed to provide her very upscale merchandise. She replied very sincerely, «Oh, but they aren't harmed when they're killed.»

Replace sales clerk with guards, and you'e got the same vocabulary of cognitive dissonance.
