yet chickens, cows and pigs have feelings too (imagine that !), and are not "objects" and "mechanisms", like Rene Descartes, one of philosophical "founders" of modern western civizaltion said about them.....
so your judgement is again = your selfishness..because "dogs are so cute for me", more than pigs, cows, horses, and chickens
and we are all part of Nature, regardless it is dog, cow, monkey, cat, pig or horse.
yet, i would sympatize more with mammals than insects :-)
