Slavers do that because they think other Animals are worth nothing and want to say Human Slaves are also worth nothing.

Here quite the opposite is done. All Animals have a Worth. Every living being has the same worth. Modern Science says that Humans are also Animals.

If you still think its something only a Slaver would say then in your head other animals probably have no worth at all. So you think someone else wants to degrade humans with that comparison. Even tho its not degrading at all. You just think less of other animals, and you probably deny the science that Humans are Animals. Which is the reason why @Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org says you sound like a "human supremacist"

All Animals have a Worth

value is subjective. this is not an objective fact.

But that we can't objectively say what kind of worth something has is pretty much the point.

How can you say that only humans have worth but other animals do not? What gives you the right to say that you're better than a pig, a cat, or any other animal? Some humans even do the same with their own kind and say that women have less worth or that someone with another skin color has less worth. I hope you agree with me that a white person has no right to decide if someone else has more or less worth than them. So why does a human have this right over other animals? What gave humans this right?

This is not about personal worth in something like a friendship. Obviously your best friend is more worth to you then a stranger. Obviously your own cat is more worth to you then a stranger cat. But in general worth, you would probably also be angry if millions of stranger humans would be slaughtered, right? You are probably against Genocide, right? Even tho you don't know these humans.

Just trying to find a baseline. If you're not even against these things when talking about Humans, then you probably have other problems.
