Pretty sure the Abrahamic religions promote the idea that we are special and god gave us the nature for us to feed ourselves, rule the rest. All that talk of lord, kingdoms etc.
It may have been a survival mechanism from when people actually felt the pain these animals felt but also felt like they had to feed themselves. The cattle cutting rituals of muslims (and guessing a similar philosophy that underpins kosher) makes me think this way.
