To look at the qestion objectivly, are humans really superior to other animals ?
Do we have the moral right to hurt or kill orther "lesser" animals in the hope that it may make our lives in some way easier?
Would we sacrifice an innocent animal to save the life of say Hitler or a child murderer?

Many other animals have far superior pphysical powers than humans.
The human brain is more developed than most animals ,but we use it to destroy other animals including our own species, even perpetrating vile acts like the sex murder of our children.
I dont' believe we have any moral right to toture other animals who may have poweres more beneficial to the welfare of the planet than humans.
We do it because we can! The animals cannot protest!

If we would not sacrifice a pet dog or cat to save the life of a war criminal or child murderer, the moral argument is invalid.

These are simple examples of how we should look at the treatment of other living creatures.
If we want to live in a brave new world, we've got to start thinking...Ake
