Humans have applied personhood to their pets for a long time. Someone valuing their wellbeing over a stranger's shouldn't be hard to understand. You don't have to think the same way, because to whom and how people give personhood is just as much individual as it is cultural, but it shouldn't blow your mind either.

This pretty much says it best.

It's nothing new to value pets as equal members of family. In fact, it seems like many people forget that cats were literally worshipped in Egypt for centuries, and the penalties for any crime against them were extremely severe.

And yet people still want to claim that value isn't subjective.
