Why do “Animal Rights” and “Left Wing” go hand in hand, and are there any notable excpetions?
Z asked:
It seems automatically assumed that if you favour animal rights, you must be a leftist, pacifist,etc, and in demonstrations, protests and politics in general the 2 always go together.
Why?
A lot of leftists deride animal rights and frequently oppose the movement as sentimental, classist or the preserve of the rich (”the poor can’t afford to be vegans,”etc.)
Given that humans generally have largely abused or neglected the animal kingdom, why would one who cares about animal rights also devote themselves to bettering humanity?
Words like “conservative” or “right wing” are also frequently usd as metaphors for the hard-hearted or uncaring. What are the exceptions to this rule, in the case of animal rights?

By “right wing,” I do not mean fascism, extremism or racism. And Hitler being or not being vegetarian is irrelvant.
