Dunno Hierophant. I guess more intelligent creatures are more cherished because they are considered more aware. I think the most horrible thing in life, whether it be human or an animal, is to know in detail your own demise. I think to be ignorant is, indeed, bliss. In other words, it is more horrible for something to die knowing what it is happening to it, and the end result, rather an an animal that only knows it is being harmed, has some instinctual fear, but does not understand what it all means. If that makes sense.
Sometimes I wonder if it would be better to be some retard, living happily and simply, not understanding much of anything but the most basic things. No concept of death, of war, of hate.. You could kill me and I'd just go down with silly simple thoughts in my head, maybe a "wha" at the end there.
