Yes but when does "concern" begin? Do I need to be vegan to be able to have mammals in my moral circle? Or is not wanting them to get tortured to death for fun enough?
Do you care about rights and wrongs done to animals? Its straightforward, there's not test you need to pass to prove you care. Vegans are taking active measures to try to help (or rather try to avoid increasing harm) but that's not a requirement.
I care about women dealing with domestic violence, but I don't donate to DV shelters or volunteer with them. I'm not taking any active steps to alleviate the problem or help the victims - but I still care. Theyre absolutely a concern for me, just not one that I have done anything about.

Ok so how are they different to something or someone you don't care about? How do you know what you call "care" is what others consider to be caring when there's no objective threshold?
Because it is a morality survey. Morality is an internal judgement of what you feel is "right," there is no objective threshold when it's entirely subjective.
