It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: it invites you to think that animals should be treated either with the consideration humans extend to other humans, or with no consideration at all.                                                              

译文：它从一开始就将讨论引向两个极端，它使人们认为应该这样对待动物：要么关心和体谅它们，就像对待人类自身一样； 要么完全冷漠无情地对待它们。

请问这里的extend to是给予的意思吗？
