There are several reasons for holding higher value to an animal´s life than humans:
- The whole world kills and tortures animals, thinks it´s okay. In that sense, animals are a minority. And Im always intrigued to help suffering minorities.
- Animals aren´t assholes.
- Men are more powerful than animal, so there should be a lot of responsibility on our side.
- Human beings prove to be kill-worthy again and again. Animals do what nature told them. Humans decide to be fuckers.
- There are 6 billion people living on this planet, meanwhile, almost all bigger animals are close to vanishing from this planet.
That´s it for now.

okay, so if a man was raised and believed that killing, rape and so on was morally right. is he innocent?
No, in your example, that man would actually be a good person, not innocent or bad, but good. Now, if a man (or woman, dont know why you picked man) was NOT raised to be anything and killed or raped someone, thinking it wouldnt cause any harm, THEN he´d be innocent.

They are people that fail as human beings so their only option is to see animals and interprent their lack of conciousness the way they want it. Hence all the "My cat is so confident and isnt a needy bitch like some dogs" comments we see here from time to time.
Yeah, it surely is those people´s fault, right? Not...society´s or so, eh? Thanks, you´re a perfect example of why I think better of animals than human beings (who are animals, too, to be precise)
