Not necessarily. My dog used to chew up half the house. Now she's stopped. Animals grow out of plenty of annoying habits. They just generally don't grow into the sheer amount of new bad ones as people do. No matter how old my dogs or cats got they never put my mother through the kind of **** that I did growing up (and still do to some extent).

That isn't enough to justify placing a higher value on animals over humans imo.

I really don't care about justifying it. I like being around animals more than humans so I value their company more than humans. Simple as that.
