What does zaroff say to show that he places little value o human life?

Zaroff values human life differently than most people. Without human life, he wouldn't have his ultimate prey to hunt. But that is the extent of the value that Zaroff places on human life. To Zaroff, a human isn't that much different than any other animal species that he hunts. Zaroff states that the one thing that humans possess that no other animal does is the ability to reason.

Hope this helps.
