Isn't similarly militant and self-righteous when someone feels this way about trans rights or abolishing slavery?

    comparing slaves and trans people to animals is gross.

    But my point is that animals should not be treated "like animals" either. They should be included in the social contract and afforded a basic minimum of respect and autonomy, not enslaved and exploited.

    treating animals like animals is absolutely appropriate
