What is the logic of esteeming one animal species over another?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) April 24th, 2014

Animals, are animals, so what would a logical reason to feel that a deer, bear, eagle, etc. should not be shot or killed when sheep, cows and chickens, etc. are slaughtered by the tons? Why get so choked up because a horse dies and not the pet snake? If someone kills a tiger for its pelt why is that logically worse than killing wild boars? Logically is there any animal that is above killing?
