Dennis Prager has a video out that I have not yet reviewed by the subject is that a human being is worth more than any animal. He is correct of course, because in the Old Testament Yahweh gave humans ownership of the earth and all upon it, but that comes with responsibility and decency.
No animal is to be mistreated. Nor should its like be taken cruelly or wanton sport. If it is needed for food or whatever, okay. God treats humans, an inferior creature by far, with respect, kindness and dignity.
Animals are inferior to humans, but not by much in comparison to the gulf between God and humans. If God cherishes us and is kind to us, then we are to cherish all life and be kind to God's creatures, for they have rights too.
