That is probably the root cause of every conflict between humans that has ever occurred. The lines have become blurred because our perceived worlds have expanded so quickly.
On the meat issue, it seems the conflict is between coexisting groups of human culture...one that extends their in-group to include most animals and one that only includes a few (like dolphins).
I guess I would revise the statement, "life has value." to say, "the well-being of our in-group has value."
