imo it's a logical (next) step for socialists to not only oppose the exploitation of us humans by ourselves, but our exploitation of all intelligent beings
It's a LOT easier to get 10 people to cut 10% of their meat consumption than it is to get 1 person to cut 100% of it, and the results are exactly the same in the short term, and much better in the long term.
Except no one can reliably cut 10% off their dietary animal products, because people are terrible at realizing what they eat, and extremely effective at justifying their own habits. Realistically, 10 people cutting their animal products by 10% is completely meaningless.
