Do you think animal lives are equal in value to human lives?

Well, humans are animals, but I know what you mean.

I don't think all animals are equal, no... I know that's horrible, but at a certain point, would you rather shoot a chimpanzee or step on a beetle? There's a different in sentience, as far as I understand.

But personally, I'm a vegetarian because I don't believe in eating meat for myself, and I'm working on cutting out dairy too. (It doesn't agree well with me anyway).

I know in just being a human I am pretty much a part of habitat destruction and the woe of many animals smaller (and larger) than me... but I'll do what I can to lessen it.
