Another saying is something like evil is when you stop seeing other people as people and instead see them as things.

Yes it's a discworld quote

“There’s no greys, only white that’s got grubby. I’m surprised you don’t know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.’ ‘It’s a lot more complicated than that -’ ‘No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.”
― Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum

Individuals must always be treated as ends, never as means. Animals are individuals, too.
