If you can't understand the answers, then either A) you're not trying to or B) you're not smart enough to
I've been leaning on A, but the longer it goes on, the more I consider B an option.

I'm hearing you say that you perceive that there are at least some species which are worth caring about.
Is your reason for caring based on anything other than selfish arguments?
(E.g. You like to eat them. Other people like you like to eat them. They are useful to humans, i.e. you.)
Is it really a stretch for you to perceive that other people attach different weight to their selfish thoughts than you do to your selfish thoughts?

It's clear how much dignity and respect you see in your perceived political adversaries.
I suspect that's about as much dignity and respect that you will be shown when you engage in these conversations.
