I know a few people who use it/its pronouns. While I agree that treating animals with respect is a good thing, it pronouns are not necessarily a sign of disrespect or objectification.
Well in that case that is different but usually when we say “it” that is used to refer to physical objects like book or treat. Animals being seen as property harms them.
Beings are also an object :)
You wouldn’t call people “it”. It’s about showing respect.
I wouldn’t, but I am calling animals it. Only in English tho, we don’t do that in my native language.

I absolutely would.
Respect is earned :)
No it is a given.
Give respect get respect, I don’t respect bigots and Nazis
