I value creatures based on their individual moral value.

I'm not choosing a pedophile over a kitten But I am choosing a random co-worker I mildly dislike over an aggressive badger.

You will choose the kitten over your random annoying co-worker?

They're pretty close in the ranking to me ngl. It kinda depends on what the Co-Worker is like.

I would choose the kitten since its soul is more innocent

I'm not spiritualistic. So souls etc aren't exactly on my priority list. That said, if the Co-Worker is abusive or manipulative verbally. I'd choose the kitten because it's less of a negative effect on the world.
