I'm never sure about that either. I think in this case it's "zo'e
ga'i" when talking about those lowly animals, and "do ga'inai" when
addressig someone of higher rank. So "ga'i"/"ga'inai" marks the rank
of the speaker as higher/lower than the other, whereas "io"/"ionai"
marks the attitude of the speaker towards someone else, a slight
difference in perspective.
