you really think an animal has the rational and state of mine to know its importance in the world? isn't that what separates humans from animals?

sure they have a instinct to survive but it is an instinct, not a thought process, and thats it. Lets not project human traits and value onto animals other wise we will have to say our fish would be happier if we killed the one thats bugging it at night
