Is there a deeper layer of meaning to this?

There is deeper meaning to everything in life. To simplify, we believe it's a mutually beneficial relationship between humans and animals. These creatures were enjoying their lives (and fulfilling their purpose) long before our species joined the party. With our arrival, we've built huge cities, covered everything in concrete, chopped down forests, and made it uninhabitable for many other species with whom we were supposed to share this planet. Here's an obvious example: many tarantula species have almost gone extinct in the wild, but their population is thriving in the hands of keepers. What do humans get from this? This is a very exciting and therapeutic hobby that fills life with color and joy.
