There are two things I have noticed in my life about a lot of people concerning animal abuse.

They hate vegans AND animal abuse. So they always contradict themselves while trying to pretend they do not. They also, often, claim to "love animals", but love involving the idea of abusing and killing, or getting someone killed, in order to eat them is not love. I sure hope no one ever "loves" me in that way.

Love is either unconditional or not love at all.
