Human beings imagine themselves as an intelligent, rational species but so much of our moral compass comes from aesthetics. Like we have concocted mythology in which all the creatures that we deem ugly (snakes, vultures, goats etc) are symbols of evil. We've literally wiped out key species because we thought they were ugly.
