This really illustrates the attitude of speciesism that is so rampant in society. People say "oh I love animals...I'm against animal cruelty" but they're only against cruelty to certain animals...usually cats, dogs and horses. (This can vary by society: In China, for example, dogs aren't all that special...they treat dogs like people in the US treat cows.)
People get all upset when dogs, cats or horses are mistreated...even going out of their way to save them...while happily eating the flesh of a cow, pig or chicken.
It's kinda like being against violence towards humans, but only white humans...while participating in violence towards blacks.
Racism...speciesism...It's just another -ISM.
