Right. Let's say that you just value "intelligent life," though, rather than the humans or pequeninos in particular. Say you're the hive queen. A piggy is equal to a human and the human race is equal to a human race.
(I worry that I'm still missing the point and the question is moot without first resolving whether you value "diversity" in it's own right or not, and that such valuing is a preference independent of rational decision making. Still, I feel as if some preferences can be irrational.)
