There are actually a lot of people arguing that animal life is equivalent to human life. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_liberation_movement http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_liberation_movement Richard Dawkins recently put up an interview he had with Peter Singer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYYNY2oKVWU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYYNY2oKVWU in 2008 about it which convinced me they are right but I still eat meat as I can't stand nearly all the vegan food I've tasted.

> There are actually a lot of people arguing that animal life is equivalent to human life. The reference you've provided doesn't really speak to the absolute or relative number of who hold this view. They certainly exist but I'd say they would be a small minority. Most people who cared about animals in a way that compelled them to act wouldn't see a direct 1:1 equivalence. Interesting video.
