You should be more careful where you sit.

You might give a **** in theory. On paper. But not in reality. Or at least not enough of a **** to sacrifice a luxury food item.
The anger Chula and TH are displaying at that is just the cognitive dissonance of thinking of yourself as an animal lover and then realizing you've sacrificed **** all to help any animals.
To be clear that describes me too. I kind of give a **** when I see Peta style videos on animal suffering but not enough to rearrange my diet. It doesn't mean you don't care at all just that you care more about sticking to the foods you're used to.
I don't see the distinction you are making between culturally reinforced values and morality.

Not anger as such, just a roll of the eyes. Batty's being general about things. We all have/had pets at one time or another. I think the amount of people who don't love animals and consider them inferior is far lower than the amount of meat eaters (that's such a horrible term isn't it? Flesh eater, much better). And having a pet can be a strain too. There's no doubt you get back the love, but I'll tell you one thing: looking after 5 cats and Karen while still holding down a job was tough. I needed my burger when I got home from the office!
