Why does it need to be consistent? I think it's fine to say I'm emotionally attached to this animal but not that one.

This TYPE of animal. It makes no sense. Either you are for animals or you don't care about them.

This comment is from the type of person who will recoil at the sheer sight of a spider

Brown recluse maybe, your type of comment is the person who tries to eat it...

That's absurdly reductionist. All animals are not alike.

You say I'm absurdly reductionist then follow up with an absurd reductionist statement like "all animals are not alike" Your cognitive dissonance is amazing.

You don't know what reductionist means, do you.

What if someone were to say "I care about all mammals" but they continued to eat fish and poultry?

At least that's consistent.
