The only real answer can be that there's something intrinsically special about humans, some magical quality that animals do not have-- though they feel the same emotions, experience pain and fear as we do, etc.There is something intrinsically special to being human for humans. This has already been explained to you.

And since the Bible is bullshit, there is no real argument which supports the use and abuse of non-humans.Which means that so is this. You've already been shown alternative arguments. Which means this is a willful falsehood; you are a liar.
