Isn’t it insensitive to compare the plight of people to the plight of animals?

I think whenever a vegan compares the plight of animals to something someone cares about, the person gets appalled by the comparison because in their mind they take the vegan to be diminishing the thing they care about. In reality though it is the opposite; the vegan cares about both things and it is the one who is appalled by the comparison that is diminishing something they ought to care about but doesn’t, i.e. the plight of animals. If only people could grasp what it truly means to live without hardheartedness and to withhold your love from no one, all would have eyes to see and would know the love God has for all creation.
