So you treat humans as the only entities that count morally as this is the closest Schelling point?
I think you should recognise you have a finer grained decision tree than this. Think about the difference between swatting a mosquito that could bite you, and harming your neighbour’s prize chicken, both animals but different moral statuses.
The neighbor’s chicken doesn’t have terminal moral status in itself; it only has instrumental moral status because it belongs to the neighbor. (This is the poster’s presumed stance, not mine.)
