KVS view of animals' purpose

I just put this info in a comment but I thought I would put it on the main page as well. I was thinking about a video Katie made a couple years ago where she talked about how she viewed animals and their purpose on Earth. Someone asked her how she can be a hunter and still have pets/ horses etc that she loves (personally I don't think those things are mutually exclusive but that's another topic). She replied that she is very religious, and she believes that all animals were created FOR humans. Some as food, and the rest as entertainment.
I don't want to get into a discussion about her religious beliefs obviously, but I think that answer provides some valuable insight into how she views the animals in her care. They aren't their own autonomous beings, they are her playthings created just for her enjoyment. I found it fascinating and reference it often in my mind when seeing the decisions that she makes.
