This smells like someone who considers himself an “intellectual” and is sick of people disagreeing with him.
What's wrong with that? Just an example, imagine living in a world where most people consume animal products without second thought, despite the absolute moral atrocity that is committed as a result of it. You'd be pathetic to not be outraged at it. People should care about the consequences of their actions, but most people hypocritically selective in what ways they are.
They might not be agreed upon. But I'd really like to see a single good justification before I die. I know most people don't care. But that itself is disgusting. If they were put in the animal's position they would cry about injustice, all while also not caring when they are not. An argument reliant on speciesism is as good as one of racism or any other form of prejudice.
