If it's a sustainable practice that is in balance with nature, I keep my mouth shut. It's incredibly rare and only practiced by small groups who are almost always disadvantaged afaik.
If the "family traditions" are simply exploitative and unsustainable modern animal agriculture, then I tend to feel fine speaking up.
I've seen attacks on indigenous practices that I don't agree with - I figure, why not go pick on mass ag instead where the suffering is unfathomable. (edit: but I won't tone police others.) On the other hand, I've also seen people claim the modern WASP diet of farmed steaks 5 nights a week is their ancestor's typical diet.
I don't want to play judge so I just focus on the immorality and unsustainability of exploitative mass animal agriculture and leave it at that. I figure it's hard to be insensitive to long-standing traditions when I'm only criticizing a development that occurred in the past 100 years.
