I love animals, I work at a kennel and have dedicated a large portion of my life to pet care, I would never harm an animal for no good reason (other than insects, because fuck those parasitic bastards, I'm a proud insect serial killer). But I still wouldn't say animals have equal moral value to humans, not from a utilitarian point of view either, if we're looking at the world as a whole, sure, I could agree that no organism has a higher value than another. But I'm not the world, I'm a human, and I care about humans more than all other organisms.

@domingodesantaclara1130 I work at a kennel, we mostly do dog stuff, boarding, doggie day care, grooming, all that stuff. But we have cats too, we can't exactly turn someone away that has 2 dogs and a cat and need to board for the weekend, that would be bad business. And with damn near zero exceptions, the cat owners are fucking bonkers. It's an ongoing work joke, every single time we take in a cat and have to interact with the owner (almost always a woman) it's an entire ordeal of having to babysit/appease some complete lunatic that's talking about nonsense, all shifty and jittery most of the time.
