As funny as this is, it was a primary factor in my undoing of religious nonsense. How could there be a place called heaven without Terriers and horses. Fuck that!

Same here. When I were a wee lad in an Altar Boy Rape Corporation school they taught us that only humans had a soul (by this point in time they had begrudgingly included non-white humans as well) and that animals did not have consciousness or were not self aware like humans. This was obvious bullshit.
Having had a wonderful dog as a family pet I knew very well that she had feelings and emotional responses that were in most ways very similar to human beings. It may be true that humans have greater skills at tasks like building weapons to kill other members of the same species, using weapons to kill those others, and creating torture techniques for the brutal torment of heretics that worship the wrong Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy, but apart from this technological superiority we are no more noteworthy than any other form of animal or plant life. We think we are the smartest, but I'd like to see evidence to support this claim.
Sure, as a human I have a natural preference for humans as a species, and if it ever came down to humans versus the klondike potatoes I'd gladly have french fries, mashed potatoes and potato chips for every meal, but this does not make humans any more noble or meaningful than a dog.
In the meantime I'll keep eating potatoes just to stay in practice in case the potato wars do finally break out.
