The relative worth of the species doesn't exist outside of the human culture, it is us who set the priorities. And I think that your second argument is the most valid for PRACTICE, we are on the top of the food chain and eat whatever we like. As for your rebuttal about rapping innocent, well, sure we would do it if we enjoied it, normally we just don't.

If you want to make a case for a kinder treatment of the animals I think that you have presented the wrong arguments. Check the 'Grand Apes project' for a well argumented case, that aims to extend some human rights to the grand apes.

Anyway one have to draw the line somewhere, will you include the insects in the number of species as important as humans, or bacteria?
