I assume it's similar to how a carnivore might get triggered by serial killers or cannibals.

A cannibal or mass murderer might think it's useless or delusional to "leak your empathy" beyond yourself or your own family.

You probably extend your empathy to most humans. A lot of people extend it to animals to different degrees and we perceive the other groups as a threat.

    I would rather animals die to feed me than for me be as unhealthy as I was when I ate plants.
