I do not fear death, in view of the fact that I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. ~ Mark Twain

I think humans as a whole are. And honestly, this thread has proved it to me. Do I think I'm better? No, not in many ways, but at least I try, rather than accept.I suspect you have a lot more fueling that opinion than just eating meat and killing animals.
I don't believe the human race is a scourge, there are simply small factions or breeds that are an infection trying to bring us down. I would elaborate some more but we are getting way off topic.
Merely the powers of observation.
Humans are driven by a lust for power and money and just pure greed.
They commit acts of pure evil (child abductions etc) and it is becoming almost commonplace. They start wars for oil, killing thousands and millions.
A whole nation of ordinary people banded together and willingly slaughtered the Jews. I would rather take my own life than commit such an atrocity. And if I was to justify it by saying I'd be killed otherwise, it doesn't make it any less evil.
And the treatment of animals is another great factor. We aren't simply following instinct and such like by killing them and eating them to sustain ourselves. No we are doing it out of greed and lust. We want to have chicken burgers and double bacon, when it's killing us. It's killing the American nation, due to your own greed, and best of all, you are all so blinded with greed that you refuse to admit how evil it is.
Stop watching the news so damned much. Your personality is both a genetic trait and one picked up through your enviorment. Their are two extremes the great people who try to help others and thoose who kill/hurt/abduct others. Than their is the majority who are content to live their lives peacefuly. Theese extremes are generaly picked up by genetics.
Greed, power, and the such is what some people have their are many people who will give even when they have nothing left. In the book Baa Baa Black Sheep, when he is a prisoner of war in Japan and the Japanese are being bombed, thoose who have had their houses destroyed and have almost nothing left gave what little food they had to the prisoners and they had a risk of being beaten mercilessly by the gaurds of the prisoners. This trait is actauly common but does not get a big chance to make itself visible as it is usauly a mail in thing nowadays.
Maybe you should start watching.
You're telling me to ignore what is happening.
And in your story, there were still men who were going to mercilessly beat the PoW's.
