wait...a man's opinion based on logic and a woman's based on emotion...I've never heard of such a thing!
An intuitive, more emotional conclusion as to why one thing is worse than the other isn't any less viable than a so-called logical one. Neuro-science has showed that emotions indeed have their own logic. IT makes perfect "rational" and "logical" sense that having a relationship with domestic animals would cause one to be more emotionally responsive to any pain or suffering they go through over livestock or wild animals.
Also, another valid "logical" and "rational" argument that someone just made is that you don't raise domestic animals to be eaten, but rather, develop an emotional bond with them. Of course people are going to feel differently about livestock than they do their pets when their mind has already framed the idea of their relationship to them.
ALSO, because, pragmatically, killing a cow is for the purpose of making money and feeding others, it isn't the same as burying a dog and shooting it for kicks because the intention is almost entirely different. Sure some farm workers might be sick and jaded and do fucked up shit, that's an entirely differnet story, but fucking with animals for fun is psychotic while killing them for food is pragmatic.
