    they weren’t things. treating them like things is part of what made that wrong.

    and treating animals like people is also wrong.

      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.

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