Are you confused? It seems like you recognize that you have somewhat different values than other people. Do you think everyone should have the same values? In that case all but one of the views is wrong. On the other hand, if values can be something that’s different between people it’s legitimate for some people to care about animals and others not to.
I am VERY confused. I suspect that some people can value some things differently, but it seems as though there should be a universal value system among humans as well. The thing that distinguishes “person” from “object” seems to belong to the latter.

Is that a normative ‘should’ or a descriptive ‘should’?
If the latter, where would it come from? :-)
