A common argument in line with the “humans rule the world” perspective is that we’re the only species intelligent enough to exercise real global authority. We use our intelligence as a weapon, but perhaps we should be using it as a way to help the animals that can’t help themselves. As humans we believe that we have more rights than animals because we can talk and have opposable thumbs. Well, for a species that supposedly rules the world, we sure don’t do a lot to take care of it.
