(Ugh, i always end up double posting)
I will also note, its not the majority that is capable of the action you see in earthlings. At least in a malicious sense like that...because a lot of eastern culture is pretty harmful, but they do not have harmful intentions. The problem here is that people stand by ignorance, cognitive dissonance...they dont want to know what happens between the slaughterhouse and their dinner plate, or the forest to their fur coat, leather jacket etc.
All i can suggest is become vegetarian/vegan and don't use animal tested products to reduce your impact, and get involved with pro animals rights orgs like in defense of animals, rainforest action network, etc. You can help from your computer. Those are some groups that aren't extreme and portrayed negatively like PETA and ALF.
