Ignorant is the word for being unaware of the horrors happening repeatedly all day every day. But for most it's willful ignorance, which changes it to pure evil. People arguing bitterly for eating pigs, especially any they haven't witnessed the life and death of, just kill me. I do not need more examples of why humanity is a sad joke but I see them everywhere every day.

Ignorance is a politely mild way to describe it, imho.
