Are so called "animal lovers" truly just shallow people in general?

Thought so

A study has shown that ugly animals attract little attention when it comes to scientific study into their physiology, anatomy and ecology.

Ugly animals, such as the fruit bat and tree rat are being ignored by conservationists, according to the study.

But some animals are even becoming endangered because of how they look.

Some animal lovers are terrorists, and follow their organization like a cult.  So doesn't surprise me that they are shallow also.

Rats are associated with the Bubonic Plague so I can see why they don't get much love. Percy was fond of calling people Fruit Bats, I doubt that it was complimentary. Some animals just have a bad rap.

I love betting on horses. I can confirm I'm rather shallow.

The "cuteness factor" definitely plays into it.

In my spare time I painte white mustangs to look like zebras so they are treated better. You're welcome.

I love animals.

And am quite shallow.

So this theory holds.

unless you also paint white stripes on black horses, then it's cool.

Regardless, it is species appropriation and should not be tolerated.
