the sanctity of human life

Since the moment we are born till the moment we die, we're fed this crap about the sanctity of human life. What sanctity? Is it somehow a relief for parents upon hearing that their sadistic kid killed an animal instead of one of (gasp) God's mighty ruling race? I mean, God forbid there should be one or two less people in the world, we are so few.

What exactly makes us so special that killing us is a big deal? I honestly believe that I would be more disturbed by an animal lying dead somewhere than I would be at finding a human body lying around. Animals are glasses of milk, we're all cans of red bull. An animal would never hurt you on purpose, be it for money or a cruel joke or even hunger unless it was really hungry, in which case, even a human would devour another. I've always felt that morals are a matter of circumstance. We may start puking at the thought of being asked to eat human meat, but leave a person in a room somewhere for a few days without food and water and We'll eat just about anything we can get our hands on. We don't deserve to have a planet. God should be corporal and whack us on the head when we do shit we're not supposed to. We should all lock ourselves in our houses. Too many people out there to be safe.
