...where they never interacted with actual animals, only cartoon images of the happy creatures of the forest.

And certainly there does not exist even one vegetarian who grew up in the middle of the woods, knew how to catch and gut a fish by the time she was six, went on hunting trips with her dad every fall and helped retrieve the kill, by eight or nine gutted and plucked chickens at slaughter time and picked up the silently screaming severed heads so the squeamish farmer nighbor didn't have to handle them, saw cats and weasels and bears and coyotes and other carnivores prey upon other animals all the time, and STILL believes humans have an ethical responsibility toward animals. Naw...can't be a real person, can I?
