I agree 100% (interesting to agree with you..).
No, but really. Tenchu, this has nothing to do with religion (noodle didn't even use some kind of religious "man were chosen" mumbo-jumbo, atleast I think he didn't mean it). The fact that we can kill them all makes us "superior" in a natural kind of way. It does not really make us "wiser", "more intelligent" or any of those human ideas. But superior, as in "we can wipe them out but they can't wipe us out", we are.
In nature, the stronger animal is superior. If there were 6 billion amur leopards, do you think they would have much left to feed on? Unless their brains had evolved like humans..
Humans will in general look to their own best first, as is natural to do. However, I would like to think that we(not the masses, but some) have evolved to a point where we have compassion and can actually consider the effects to other animals and the environment (as demonstrated by all animal-rights and environmentalist movements).
