Here's a clue: Many children naturally don't want to eat meat when they make the connection that it's a dead animal, but their parents insist that they do, and teach them that they need it. So the child's natural compassion is suppressed. It makes sense to me that this natural compassion is significant.
Not all children...some delight in squashing bugs for fun. But many.
