Except that people, in general, don't hate cows and sheep, but we get around
their killing by calling their meat beef and lamb or mutton, to divorce it
from the animal. I don't eat cows or sheep.

Good response, Andrew. Having said that, while I think it's absurd that
feral cats are only despised because they're not native, I have noticed an
attitude to ferals among some people that's similar to racism.
They seem to have an excessive hatred for Mynas, etc, and cane toads are
often subjected to all kinds of painful deaths. Perhaps it's necessary to
hate something in order to continue culling it, and perhaps Franklin has
noticed this and got the cause and the effect the wrong way around.
