You know the argument is good when every response is “I don’t care”.

So many horrific things have continued in this world because of people saying exactly that.

The "everybody must care because I do" mindset is vastly more annoying and infinitely more destructive.

How so? The fight for animal liberation is the same as any other rights movement. It’s easy to see how those aren’t very destructive.

Also, you misunderstand: you shouldn’t care because I do. You should care because it’s right. Whether or not I personally believe it is irrelevant to anyone else’s moral obligations.
