The Food Chain- Are we really at the top?
I'm going to start with a simple question; Does anyone really have the right to decide what a soul is worth? Humans certainly seem to think they do. We have always considered ourselves the best species with the most intelligence but why? It can't be because we're at the top of the food chain, because Lions are at the top too. In fact, if we were to face one in a fight then the human would loose. So I keep asking myself this question; Why do we think we're better than every other species? Why do we feel that our lives are worth more than theirs? It can't be because we're more intelligent, because we're not. We are what we consider to be intelligent, but there is not only one kind of intellectual capacity. Perhaps some animals think it's funny that we can't survive without supermarkets. Or do we think they're not capable of thoughts like us? Animals are not here for us to use and manipulate as we wish, but are here to live alongside us. This is their home too but we are too selfish to even let them keep their "habitat" or like I said before, their home. They can do everything we can do and more, so why do they still, after thousands of years of fighting for minorities to be equal, have no real rights?
