Hmm I’m not sure if I have a very considered answer to this question, except for the main argument that I think it’s much harder for people to see animals as having rights/moral value since they look different, are different species, and often act in foreign ways that make us more likely to discount their capacity to feel and think (e.g. fish don’t talk, scream, or visibly emote).
