"All are not created on equal terms, but some are preordained to eternal life, others to eternal damnation; and, accordingly, as each has been created for one or other of these ends, we say that he has been predestinated to life or to death."

John Calvin Institutes of Christian Religion Book III CH 21

Please don't waste your time citing 500 vague examples of how Calvin isn't actually saying what he is clearly saying: some animals are more equal than others. No thanks. You can keep it.

Why would we want to hide it?

“But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.”
(Joh 6:64-65)

That’s just something you’re going to have to wrestle with.
