We and other animals are all 'God's' creatures

The assertion that we are all God's creatures is an ethical viewpoint of value: assuming we live in a society with one common image of 'god'.
In modern society everyone has and asserts the right to their own 'god'.
Therefore the assertion has no ethical value.
We must determine what the particular individual means by it, and then we will judge the answer by our own standards.
Or merely refer to the law of the country which may be a complete ass.

I think it has far less to do with ethical values, since I can't see what would cause it to be ethical in the first place, but a generalized statement that we all derive from the same source. The idea that the same god who created the animals likewise created us seems to imply a certain equality between creatures inhabiting the same planet.

The problem of bias, is the understanding of your comment, about determining what the particular individual means by it.
It's the same problem of bias framework, as the issue of who gets to decide who categorizes as a framework.

no, it implies the belief there is one source of life.

who said ethics have to have value, or is a value?

if that were so then you're creating a god or gods in your own image and likeness and therefore could not be a Living God or the Living God.
FYI, the Truth of God is not a hit and miss mystery.
