Obviously I don't mean like cats, dogs, and other common household pets. I'm talking about livestock like cows, pigs, chickens, lambs, goats, lobsters, fish, birds etc.
For me I only recognize that we shouldn't over harvest animals or hunt endangered species so that we can continue to sustain human life and biodiversity on Earth, but I don't care about animal rights, their living conditions, or feelings.

Yes... I've recently been folded into life thanks to animals Here I'm talking about non-human animals. For example, this dog Coby (a friend's) has really made me want to have a puppy I've had guinea pigs and fish, but I've never had a big one like a puppy or growing dog I need a cat or a dog. Or both I love animals so much. Omg

And obviously not everyone has to love animals or become an animal rights campaigner but I will say that the statement in the OP "but I don't care about animal rights, their living conditions, or feelings" disgusts me.
Not just directed at you, but anyone who feels that way I think is pretty heartless and I don't have respect for people like that.
I care in the sense where I dislike extreme mistreatment of animals but I'm not a strong advocate that is wanting to go vegan or protest for animal rights.
I feel like if meat lovers would try vegan substitutions instead of animal based products, it could make the biggest change in the world. As someone who is still not vegan, I love the idea of substituting my animal food over something plant-based to help the earth
I didn't think I did for a long time, but for quite a while now I've realised just how precious they are. The thing that really bridged the gap for me was that even if I didn't feel that I cared for them, that was no reason for me to see to it that they were slaughtered and killed just to end up on my plate. There's many parties in the world that I don't "care" about, but that doesn't mean that I have a vested interest in funding their murder each day.
Something that I love about what you said is that you care for endangered species and biodiversity. Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation (people freak out about palm oil - which is great, but so far that's cleared 26 million acres vs. Animal Agriculture clearing over 5x as much with 136 million, for extra crop growth + grazing land). We lose 110 animal + insect species every single day from rainforest destruction, of which Animal Agriculture is the leading cause. So it's all sort of circular and to put it simply, consumption of farm animals is sending many species into extinction - so it's actually very closely related.
So care for the endangered species of the earth can absolutely be achieved whilst caring for farmed ones!
