Exactly. "Animal lovers" who love dogs and cats.....but don't care about pigs,cows,chickens(all animals that deserve life and are really exactly like dogs abd cats)
I guess the difference is those domestic animals you mentioned are capable of affection and company with their owners, while pigs, chickens, cattle and other farm animals only exist to breed, eat, shit, and sleep on the farm premises, though unlike wild animals they can't survive without human assistance. If humans didn't keep them around for the food industry, they'd have gone extinct by now due to predation.
