Of course. The Armenian Holocaust also wasn't as bad as the Jewish Holocaust, by numbers. I'd still consider all three a kind of holocaust.

I still think the Armenian Holocaust was worse than farming. In fact I would go so far as to say every human genocide was worse than farming.
It depends what value you attribute to a life. For example, is the life of one adult human more valuable than the life of one hundred million adult chimpanzees? These things are very hard to quantify.

It might be best to split human and non-human slaughter into entirely separate categories. You don't need to make comparisons between one and the other; you can just accept that both are unacceptable.
