It's because biodiversity is beneficial to all species on Earth because it makes for a more resilient and stable ecosystem. Poaching endangered species tends to drive those doecies to extinction, reducing biodiversity which as I've explained is a common good for all living species. Ranching maintains biodiversity by establishing an equilibrium artificial ecosystem. Combined with conservation, it contributes to economic prosperity and sustainable management of a rich and resilient ecology.
People do vilify ranchers. There are tons of organizations that are fighting against animal farming, and it's a movement that is gaining a lot of traction. Like others have said, people just aren't talking about here since this article is about poaching.
What cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy? If some says "I don't like x" do you think they need to enumerate everything they like or dislike as well? Perhaps the op thinks ranchers are shitty too, except the article mentioned poachers. Why would the op then make a non sequitur about ranchers?
