But you make it sound as though these people are objectively “wrong”, as if they’re *trying* to actually reduce animal suffering in the absolute but end up working on the human proxy because of a bias. That may be true of some, but surely not all. What ozymandias was, I believe, trying to express, is that some of the people who’d reject your solutions consciously find them ethically unacceptable, not merely recoil from them because they’d *instinctively* be against their being used on humans.

Clearly I have not phrased it well in my post. See my reply to ozy. I am advocating self-honesty about your values, not a particular action.
