Only some people are something - like Jews during WW2. We call living creatures including people “things”, because then it feels more ok to kill them. It lowers the empathy.
By treating animals like people, do you mean respecting them and not killing them or letting them work as senators?
IMO treating animals like things is definitely wrong, in the same way treating people like things is. Neither of them is a thing, all us animals are alive.
no, and this makes no sense

you shouldn’t treat animals like smartphones, either. you treat different things differently.
