“Animal ally” won’t work on someone who genuinely doesn’t like animals and doesn’t care if you know.
Generally “social desirability” traits work well. Like being charitable. Helping others out. Being unbiased. Being fair. Being honest. Being informed/knowledgeable (though this last one is tricky).
But some people value different things more and some less.
Someone who doesn’t value “intelligence” isn’t going to respond well to you basically saying "smart people would do this ".
Someone who genuinely doesn’t care about charity (has strong bootstrap beliefs) won’t respond well to the charitable -label.
So you may need to adjust your strategy on an individual basis.
And as always, make the arguments as individualized as possible. (Such as my example about bringing the person’s dog into the conversation).
The art of manipulation persuasion actually takes some practice and social skills with reading people. Being articulate is also a necessity.
