I think you need to stress you are not trying to compare humans to animals except in terms of suffering and pain- and that's a logical thing to do, since animals suffer pretty much the way people do (neurologically)(or that one type of person is like a chicken while another is not- it's obvious to me you don't mean Jews are like chickens, but rather that ALL human life is precious, and we should try to think of animal life as precious as well)- the weird stuff that has been posted to you regarding hate crimes is a complete misconstruction of what you have posted- it is obvious that you wish to raise the level of treatment of animals to a level closer to the way we treat humans. Obviously we think a holocaust with human victims is horrible- your point is that a holocaust of animal victims is equally terrible.

I think the word red herring was coined for a departure like the "hate crime" highway. Once you see the red herring, don't bother to argue with it. Although we must respect the red herring as the wonderful beautiful form of animal life it is, there is nothing to be gained in trying to talk it out of its position.

(and just let me add that the red herring refers to the idea that wanting to bring awareness to a holocaust of animals killed for meat, somehow lessens the tragedy of the Nazi atrocities- and does not refer to any person- it's all about the idea...)
