most people do believe that animals should be afforded at least some of the ethical considerations we apply to humans, generally more the more intelligent the animal is. dolphins, elephants, high primates and certain parrots have rudimentary cultures and civilizations, as well as being capable of logically solving problems, feeling empathy towards members of their own species, their caretakers, and others, and feeling emotion and pain.
if this is the case, isn't what we're doing to these species through hunting and habitat loss comparable to how europeans abused african tribes in the late 19th century?
