Does the cost of a creature have any bearing on it's value as a living creature?

of course it does. but you can't expect people to follow your lines of morality. morality is purely subjective, as a philosophy. some would go as far to say that taking fish from their homes for our pleasure is immoral. but the lines you draw are only for yourself, and you can't expect others to conform to them, as you would not wish to be expected to conform to others' lines of morality.

standards that aren't clearly defined in a society almost becomes personal preference in that everyone has different outlooks on such trivial matters.
