Your argument that you would effectively be forced into becoming an anti-animal advocate if you convincingly wrote up your views—sorry I don’t really buy it.
I would be primarily known as an anti-animal advocate if I wrote something like this, even if I didn’t want to be.
On whether I would need to put my time into continuing to defend the position, I agree that I strictly wouldn’t have to, but I think that given my temperament and interaction style I wouldn’t actually be able to avoid this. So I need to think of this as if I am allocating a larger amount of time than what it would take to write up the argument.
