Answer:In the given scenario, meat-lovers' clubs are an example of a DISSOCIATIVE GROUP

Step-by-step explanation:

Dissociative group refers to a group in which the group members attitudes, behaviours,values does not fall in line with that of an individual person. As a result a person seeks to stay away from this group.

There is a clash between this individual and the dissociative group in terms of what each believes , values or think can be done.

Derrick is a member of an animal lover club which means he values animals and believe they should be protected and that they have a right to live.contrary to Derrick's belief and values meat lovers believe animals are a source of meat which totally contradict with what he believes and values. He then distances himselve because to him this is an act of cruelty. This is how one acts towards a dissociative group (a group that believes , values and act against what they value and believe)
