Invariably, the cuteness qualifier combined with the human factor means that we'd end up leaving ugly inhuman shit off the list even if it's circumstance or attributes were identical to the cute human baby like stuff. Those two entirely subjective metrics impart ambiguity and special pleading.
Denis Leary had a great routine about otters and cattle.
Right. You just said these things might vanish when subjected to an objective moral framework. What framework would this be, and could you give a couple examples? It seems that all morality, either directly or indirectly, is based on an instinctive sense of value.
