least problematic carnist be like:

i cant really empathize with animals like how i can with people. i hit dogs with my car on the way to work all the time (once a week or so). its unavoidable because they charge into the road from their yards and its too windy to move out of the way usually so i mostly just accelerate into them & drive over their bodies.

if i hit even one (1) person id never live with the guilt and quit my job. its unfair to expect one (1) puppy to equal one (1) human. (i know you dont expect that, but i feel better if i write this idk why).

how many puppies would i have to hit before it was enough for me to care much? it would have to be like when the cicadas come out - piles and piles of puppies for miles. i just value my fiance having nice things more than the lives of those dogs, even though i like puppies a lot. i will continue to hit dogs with my car, it is the natural order of things.

some details changed to protect the innocent & make dunking easier

this is a weird thing to admit online, friendo!
