There's violence everywhere in our world today and it's not likely to go away until we stop leading violence-based lives. If you are eating abattoir foods (meat, fish, milk and eggs) and/or using things made from violated animals (leather, silk and wool) you are part of the violence problem. That's just logical! If you refuse to use animal-based products in your daily life, you'll be making a significant statement - a commitment to non-violence. Needless to say, violence is not necessary for your survival or well being.
Most people are blind to much of the horror with which they're involved. They don't want to see, don't want to think too deeply about how they live their lives for fear of becoming disaffected with their favourite violence-linked foods or favourite pair of shoes. By closing off your mind to information concerning the treatment of farm animals, you deliberately numb your sensitivities so you aren't constantly reminding yourself of the horrors of the abattoir. If you gave in to even a moment's thought, you'd never sleep at night and certainly never again enjoy your bacon and egg breakfasts or your steaks or enjoy the comfort of your leather shoes.
