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?

Pinnacle my ass.
Look at the way humans treat other humans.
If you asked an alien to deduce how much we value human life by the way we have treated eachother throughout all of human history to now, what do you think the alien would conclude?
Humanity is a race of child savages.

@GeistInTheMachine I must admit that I may have been overly generous in my assessment of human beings. When you look at how we treat our fellow humans, it makes you wonder whether we are safer with animals, because they kill for food, whereas we kill for greed and hatred.
If this continues, the life-ending astroid that may arrive someday may be disappointed to learn that all life has already been wiped off. We might make sure of that.

@Renkon If humanity is going to kill itself, it should get on with it quick because I'm ready to go, but I'd rather not do it myself.
