Yes, it is hypocritical. If you say animals should have the same rights as humans, and you still agree with the above statement, you're a hypocrite.

But the legal consequences of killing a human are FAR greater than those of killing an animal, if there are any at all. Even if one believes that animals should have equal rights, that's simply not how the law sees it. I'm all for animal rights, but basing my decision solely on the legal system, there's no way I'd kill a human before an animal.
I know, if you're hardcore about it you won't care about the legal consequences, buuuuuut being charged with murder isn't really my bag. You dig?
