Does your life intrinsically have any more value than that of any other animal?

I say no.
A life is a life and it's the only one any creature gets. Mine is not more objectively valuable just because i'm a human.

values are personal priorities, there's nothing absolute about them. we choose to value or not value something and by this action we decide what is important or less important. so if we decide to value life than we should treat life with respect. we are full of contradiction, we understand suffering and can feel compassion for all things and then force animals to live in captivity in sometimes horible conditions just so we can kill them and eat them when we see fit. as we become more aware our behavior should reflect that if we choose to value integrity.
