about racism and homophobia and misogyny, but some people really get their feathers referred if one talks about speciesism.

some people think that compassion is limited, so if one cares about the whales and dolphins, then there isn't enough compassion left over to care about oppressed people.

the opposite is true, compassion grows by being used.

(altho I have known people who care more about animals than people)
