Sorry if I actually subscribe to that belief. Neither did God give humans a free pass on torturing less valued species. Animals are given as a resource much like trees and oil. Animals also happen to have some capacity for emotion and intelligence. Since they are similar to us in some way we should respect them, lest we become callus with the taking of intelligent life.

As for pets, it's a cultural thing that we don't eat pets. The bible cautions against following culturally aberrant activities provided doing so doesn't infringe on your service to God.

I would hope you will have some respect for other peoples' beliefs in the future.

(Sorry if I am less than clear, I'm typing this on my iPad and I can't edit stuff in text boxes very easily.)

Some beliefs don't deserve respect.

Look, you can be a smartass and try to criticize other's beliefs. But at least know what the beliefs of others are.

Criticizing a group of people based on your own naivety of their beliefs is both ignorant and arrogant.

Many passages in the Bible explain that humans are stewards of nature.
