You're not going to like this but it's okay for people to want to make a difference. Some people actually give a shit about not causing unnecessary suffering and you not giving a shit doesn't mean that they aren't justified in trying to improve animal welfare.

So you’re oversimplifying this shit thinking you’re proving a point, but really you’re just assuming people won’t tell you the real truth.

Thinking for anyone/anything other than the things that personally affect you or the arbitrary things you happen to care about is called basic human empathy. But apparently to some people that's the fundamental weakness of western civilization.
