It would be nice if we didn't have to choose between stuff like killing puppies and being forced to live in the wilderness. Isn't there a puppy friendly way to have the comforts of the modern home?
But I digress. This story actually keeps it consistent with how the Hoyoverse was set up. The cliffnotes version is that there's a thing in each universe that prevents humanity from progressing too far because that leads to human hubris and going too far thereby causing the eventual destruction of said universe. So in this case we have animal cruelty for the sake of human progress and we fight against that as major characters of the game. However other people in the tribe were being convinced to accept the atrocities for the sake of progress.
