Mine has. I used to feel, "Jehovah considers animals as a whole to be important, but he doesn't consider any one animal to have any value. After all, he saved all the righteous people in the ark, but he only preserved a representative of each kind of animal. God slaughtered them without regard, why should I care?"
Now I feel VERY differently. I see each animal as an individual with its single, valuable, precious lifespan. When the starlings come to the feeder in the morning, each one impresses me individually. I no longer consider myself the 'last great creation', but I'm just another shmoe out there trying to survive. I don't in any sense buy the watchtower line that man has a monopoly on love, or any other emotions. How intelligent are these creatures? Are they self-aware? Do they ask themselves the same thing about me as they peer in the window and cock their heads at me?
I'll still happily eat animals, just as they happily eat each other. And I'm sure if push came to shove, they'd eat me. But I have a much higher regard for them now.
How about you?
