It’s the only part of my comment that argues Jeff was effectively saying he would have to “be” an animal advocate, which is exactly what you’re arguing against.
So I guess my best reply is just to point you back to that...
I guess I still don’t think of “I would need to spend a lot of time as a representative of this position” as being an anti-animal advocate. I spend a lot of time disagreeing with people on many different issues and yet I’d consider myself an advocate for only a tiny minority of them.
Put another way, I view the time spent as just one of the costs of being known as an anti-animal advocate, rather than being one.
