Does an animal's life has the same value as a human life?

We are at the pinnacle of the evolutionary pyramid. But does that give us the moral right to end anotherlife? Or does the rest of life exist to supplement our survival and happiness?

i kill bugs. if they were able to theyd probably kill us too if we annoyed them. in nature animals eat other animals. theyre not thinking about morals
@Penny so? Bugs might not be thinking of morality, but You are. Get a whisk broom and stop being a bad person.

@Roundandroundwego wtf are you talking about?
@Penny those little brooms about eight inches long with a tiny dust pan. You gently prod bugs onto the dust pan and gently release them outside. They have them at dollar tree stores.

@Roundandroundwego oh, yeah let me whisk a cloud of fruit flies out of the house. or usher out a mosquito and give it a farewell present while im at it
@Penny for those you don't need a broom. You use a hand towel and temple incense for flying insects, and an open door, of course. but you should wear deet if mosquitoes are present.

@Roundandroundwego i dont think incense gets rid of fruit flies. maybe if you really smoke the place out and open a window, but seems like a lot of effort. my acv trap works good. death jar for fruit flies. i dont think i am better than the fruit fly either.
@Penny no, it doesn't, you definitely need the open door and the towel. The incentive to leave and stay out until you're done is improved a little by the smoke. Acting like you try to allow things to live is better for you - people are my first concern, then fruit flies.

@Roundandroundwego well, bugs aren't animals, but to me a pest is a pest and not welcome in my home. if it was just one or a few thats one thing but they multiply rapidly which can cause major problems. who wants an infestation?
@Penny bugs are animals. So are we.

@Roundandroundwego i thought they were classified as insects
@Penny insects are classified as part of the animal kingdom because they're not plants but they're alive.
