well i do think things we enforce should be logically consistent but ultimately the way i really judge it is whether it is logically consistent given the overall goal we are trying to achieve by having laws in the first place. so i'm not saying by definition we can't play favorites with animals. i'm saying is this manifestation of that really in our best interests? are we doing something beneficial by locking this guy up or are we wasting our time or worse, acting directly against our own interests for the sake of some misguided moral outrage?
