No one is trying to hide anything, and your "we do this but not that" language obscures the issue. We show compassion for animals, and also brutalize them. We care for the environment, and destroy it. We fight for human rights, and ignore human rights, and actively abuse human rights. A lot more people need to move towards the good sides of those spectra. This is a small and local movement, probably not one that will have a major effect; we shouldn't let it distract us, obviously, but I think we can still appreciate it.
