I think humans are arrogant self centered pricks to consider other animals as less conscious or aware.
we just want some excuse for our humanity based cruelty to other species.
nature is cruel in its own way, but we assume we are superior and justify our cruelty by assuming other species are less.
some species are just as cruel though… take orca playing football with seals and small dolphins.
we don’t have a monopoly on purposeful cruelty. Nature is mostly eat or get eaten, not the furry lovey fairytale some portray.
we are also capable of altruism and compassion… yet so are whales, dolphins, dogs and many other species.
only difference is our arrogance assuming other species are not.
