ALL sentient beings, big or small, deserve equal consideration and respect. Humans aren't the only ones who are sentient individuals. We should also treat others how they wanted to be treated. People who have beliefs of their own in regards to other sentient beings should NEVER be made fun of or bullied just because they are "different" from others. As the Golden Rule states, "treat others how you want to be treated". This applies to EVERYONE, not just people, not just me and you.
