I am indebted to Andrew Linzey for putting forward this argument in relation to the importance for Christian theology in taking a theocentric view of the value of nonhuman animals specifically and creation generally. Especially see Linzey and Cohn-Sherbok, After Noah: Animals and the Liberation of Theology.
