Take anything that people turn a blind eye to- they start caring when you take the issue and give them an emotional attachment. Before they're emotionally attached, they're just as selflshly "don't care about anything but me and mine" as most everyone else.

Funny you should say that. I think the subject was essentially about caring. And caring is an emotion. So is love, friendship - things like that.
If you didn't care about an animal then you would have no feelings for it and its value would be strictly what it could physically do for you. You wouldn't take care of it like you take care of your car but when you didn't need it any more you'd sell it and would be concerned with what the new owner did with it.
Pretty much every decision we make in life is tied to emotion. That's what makes the marketing world go around. If someone can't tap into an emotion they've lost the battle. There would be no more purchases based on wants, only needs. Emotion is what drives us to do the things we do.
