That isn't cognitive dissonance.

What u/theCatLeigh is saying is that they think it is cognitive dissonance to love chickens and yet still keep them as livestock.

A view I don't agree with, but feel free to downvote me further for trying to explain it.

Lol why are your trying to speak for me? The problem isn’t keeping animals that can’t care for themselves anymore due to animal agriculture. The problem is people pretending it’s ethical to take their eggs away because they’ve convinced themselves eating chicken menstruation is a necessity 🙄

You were receiving a tonne of downvotes for your argument and hadn't responded for 6 hours. I thought I would elaborate on the basis that your argument may have been misconstrued by some.

I now know that trying to defend someone who is hostile to everyone else is a fool's errand. Fuck me for trying to give everyone a chance to defend their point of view, right?
