Petaphile

A Petaphile has certain traits found in the borderline personality disorder:

Demanding attention for him/herself by forcing a response out of their environment. Weither this attention be positive or negative doesn't seem relevant, they just want to be "heard". They will use dishonest "facts" to persuade or slander opposing parties. The petaphile knows no inbetweens when it comes to forming their opinion over other human beings, it is either an enemy or a friend. Violating a fellow-human's rights and law to achieve what they feel fulfills them is not uncommon.

When trying to reason with a petaphile or point out the ridiculousness in their bahaviour, it's likely to receive a spectacle of hostility, denial, accusations or made up "facts". A petaphile will claim all it's offensive behaviour to be for a greater purpose... Animal rights.
But once responsibility over these animals is achieved, a petaphile will not be able to handle the responsibility of actually caring for them, as the borderline personality characterizes impulsive behaviour... The animals end up being euthanized or set "free" in a hostile environment where they are sentenced to cruel death.

A petaphile, lacking the consience of a healthy human mind, will disregard the mass killing of the subject they seemingly appeared to protect as "better than being a slave to humans".
Your mindset on animal wellfare is unhealthy, you seem to be a petaphile.
