Human beings are NOT superior to animals; they just think they are.
Homo sapiens may be more powerful--in terms of $$$ and weapons (bombs, guns, warships, chemical and biological weapons) and intelligent (IQ), but I don't see how that constitutes an argument for their moral superiority.
Cats have superior eyesight, hearing, sense of smell...and, on the average, they individually only weigh about 1/14 of an adult human being. And, aesthetically, they are more pleasing.
Their ancestors may have been on this planet as long as ours or longer. They have been able to survive under the most difficult conditions.
We live far longer, of course, than felines do, which probably is not advantageous for our planet.
That constitutes superiority, to me.
