If that is your assertion, I feel the post is misrepresenting your view as something much stronger (i.e human-focused causes have significant positive impact that non-human animal-focused causes do not, therefore human-focused causes are better). This is disingenuous and caused our negative reactions.
I’ve just re-read the post and I don’t think it misrepresents the view. But it is clearly the case that people reading it can come away with an erroneous impression, so something has gone wrong. Sorry about that.
