English term or phrase: A slaughtered goat can’t feel itself getting skinned

Mam problem z przetłumaczeniem tego zdania...
W zasadzie bez kontekstu - mówi to kobieta, ktora została skazana za zamordowanie swojego kochanka (podstępnie ją oczywiście uwiódł i wykorzystał, a ona się na nim odegrała ;) ).

A: A slaughtered goat can't feel itself getting skinned. We're simple folk. And simple folk... know one another. Love one another. Smother one another.
