I don't buy this at all. Are you saying that, e.g., people in peasant societies don't form quasi-human emotional attachments to their pets, or that Bucephalus was only important to Alexander because he was a good steed, or that the Egyptians didn't view (certain) animals as divine (that is, were related to them in a quasi-human way)?
