Should this make us as mad as the 250 million male baby chicks that are ground up every year by the US factory farming system, because they can't be grown into egg-layers?

That seems like a variation of the fallacy of relative privation.

Maybe. I'm just pointing out that people have radically inconsistent attitudes towards animal welfare issues, and are not scope-sensitive to the relative scales of their issues. In other words, maybe it's not a fallacy if you take relative scale of suffering into account.

On field work in Bulgaria I once ‘rescued’ a plastic bag of newborn kittens which were hanging in a tree and gave them to the family we were staying with. Never saw them again. Sad but real for a young twenty-something.

More angry, as people would have gladly taken and loved the puppies and the chicks end may come quickly as opposed to a slow painful death to which she consigned the puppies. She was lazy and cruel.
