Then, the subjects seemed to have compassion and warm feelings, embracing the feeling of "pretty" "defenseless" against the babies of animals for both men and women, but the decrease in appetite for meat was particularly strong in women . Men said that compared to women, there was not much decrease in appetite for meat. There was no big difference in the appetite of women depending on the type of animals.

In the follow-up study, it was also examined how to evaluate appetite for meat when subjects showed photos of calves and bulls or when they can not show pictures of animals. As a result, there was hardly any change in appetite in "When you can not show pictures of animals" and "When you showed pictures of bulls", but "When you showed a picture of a calf" It has been shown that appetite decreases.
