I'm not. You're right. Some animals are property to be traded and used to support human life. I should separate companion animals and the rest.

If you believe sanctity of all life is a solution, then I'm curious what you believe the problem is that such a belief solves.

I bet it's circularly defined as justifying the preservation of sacred nonhuman life? I'm not trying to be provocative just curious.
