Some people become vegetarian for this exact reason, but then why stop there? is there a reason to declare life of the plants that you eat less valuable? Stop eating them, these apples or carrots they all have families, dreams, plans for their future. The level of self awareness is pretty much the only thing we can grade life. I might even like mice, but their lives are endless cycle of eat - fuck - sleep - shit. Human lives are much more productive, creative, interesting and therefore more valuable. And all of that starts with self-awareness.
