The moment I saw this question I thought of the film Planet Of The Apes abd that freaked me right out.
Of course I don't believe that animals should be superior to humans but I do believe we should treat our animals with love, respect and dignity.

i agree with Cammie, animals shouldn't be superior to humans, but we should respect them!

I think in a way, yes.
Coz they were there before us, we should learn from them.
They use the nature for their need and not own purpose.
Our earth would be still the same without humans, so

obviously no.yes we should respect them and give them their space but god made us to be above them(not in the sense that we should put them in cages).it says so in the bible(i don't know if you are a cristian or not,if you are you know what i'm talking about).but anyways we are still superior in the intelligence.

We need to treat them like equals, though.

yeah u know why? because the human is a distructive being of wich the planet doen't need because all the creatures are developing normally without him. no one needs people to raise embrions in the lab or something like that. all the human did is destroing . he used the planet resources to evolve and that's a huge price the earth
CONCLUSION: THE PLANET DOESN'T NEED THE HUMAN BEING !!! IT'S BETTER WITHOUT IT !!

first of all
lovesimba4ever you do realize that you are a human too but in someway i agree with you but humans shoould exist but people just need to realize that they are hurting animals and stop hurting them.
