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.

[-] sizzler@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] spittingimage@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That's absurdly reductionist. All animals are not alike.

[-] sizzler@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

You don't know what reductionist means, do you.

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

[-] sizzler@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Brown recluse maybe, your type of comment is the person who tries to eat it...

[-] DillyDaily@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

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

At least that's consistent.
