The joke is not on us...

Exactly. It’s not that you don’t like abuse, you said yourself you don’t like animal abusers. So it’s the people you don’t like, including me. So your kindness depends on behavior, it’s conditional. Like Christians saying they hate gays, etc. Extreme ideology taking personally someone else’s choices. Should racists take baby steps to not be racist, Yes! As all things are taken by a first step. You’re missing the point about loving all animals, if you ice out and are hateful to other animals, humans, around you. Animals kill other animals in the wild. Tell me do you feel as cold towards the alligator, the eagle? Take that hot emotion out of your work, and replace it with compassion, towards all things not just chosen animals, and you’ll realize even the racist and slave owner deserves your compassion. It’s not conditional. Loving someone is how you get them to change, not belittling and hating them. Otherwise you’re being a total hypocrite. If this is a safe space for vegans to bash non vegans, aren’t you a little disgusted with that behavior? Is it a good tactic? No it’s not at all. Something tells me it’s the vitriol that makes you feel powerful. You don’t know how to be a humble vegan, it’s all about that superiority complex.
