Doctor's reply
Never ever compare animals with humans for one very distinct reason: Man has his past, present and future with reference to the world, its nature and the entire community he lives in, in his mind until he dies; and he has emotions and reflexes that should be controlled and modified sensibly by the mind, the highest seat of wisdom that he is bestowed exclusively with, for his dynamic life for eternity.
Man has the mind that distinguishes between good and bad; and that between just and unjust and that between right and wrong whereas animals do not possess this quality from the highest seat of wisdom. Animal has no comparison with man in this respect. They cannot understand man; but man has every capacity to subdue animal if only we, as humans, see ourselves much high above animals and not consider on par. Sadly for humanity, man tends to equate himself with animals by addressing himself as a 'social animal', the ugliest of all terminologies. Those that love animals more than human beings have no reason at all to know anything about animals.
Going by such distinction we shall imbibe from our habitat, the nature and living things around us: the good, the right and that is just and understand for bettering our lives as days pass by, raising ourselves with wisdom. Animals are one such thing as living things around us. It is incumbent upon us to imbibe from everything what is good, right and just for us.
The first answer is irrefutable and direct evidence that we see day in and day out, but failed to derive any understanding out of it.
The second answer which you considered 'double standard' is with regard to procreation of man and animals. Man can and shall have plans when to conceive and when not to conceive; and when to have intercourse and when not to have. Man's mind power has no comparison at all with animals that do not possess any such thing as mind power.
