I am sure that it is not because of a trait. I have two people that take care of animal related things and all of the colonists have that negative opinion about them, they even think that about each other.

In the long term this might lead to ostracize the animal handlers and constant fights.

Not absolutely sure that this is new but I never noticed it before.

I just noticed that there is a new negative opinion called: "Killed colony animal" which has an impact of -5.
I find this new opinion really confusing if not outright stupid. All of my colonists eat Meat on a daily basis, so why is there a reason to look down on the person that kills the chickens?

People in real life aren't contempt of butchers either. I'd understand it if there were a Vegan trait or something, but there isn't. Even if this negative Opinion would only apply to non-farm type animals like dogs I'd still think it is stupid. If I were to sell the animals instead of culling the herd I'd loose out on as  I'd get meat and fur more valuable then the sell price. So having the people that take care of all animal related things be hated just because they also do the dirty duty of keeping the numbers in check is quite illogical. And nobody has a problem with eating a fine meal made with Husky meat. After all, no colony can feed an endlessly multiplying herd of animals.

I'd be really happy if someone could at least give me a logical explanation on why this opinion exists.
