    Why does it need to be consistent? I think it’s fine to say I’m emotionally attached to this animal but not that one.

      This TYPE of animal. It makes no sense. Either you are for animals or you don’t care about them.

          You say I’m absurdly reductionist then follow up with an absurd reductionist statement like “all animals are not alike” Your cognitive dissonance is amazing.

        This comment is from the type of person who will recoil at the sheer sight of a spider

        What if someone were to say “I care about all mammals” but they continued to eat fish and poultry?

        At least that’s consistent.
