Take a walk, smell the roses. Any topic is fine, save people bashing.

A couple of explanations

For any sentient, empathic being anyone's suffering is unacceptable, since due to empathy we feel some degree of their suffering ourselves. Because that experience is unpleasant we identify the inflicting of unnecessary suffering as wrong.

The slightly deeper explanation is that the infliction of large-scale unnecessary suffering threatens the survival of the species, and we are genetically programmed to respond negatively to survival threats.
