I personally think we should be responsible "stewards" of our planet. I consider humans to be the single most important thing on the earth - no other animal or aspect of the environment. That being said, I think the best interests of HUMANS should always be considered first. However, I think it is responsible of us not to cause unnecessary damage. IF/WHEN there are ways to lessen damage on the environment, without a great cost to humans, why NOT? However, when people start sacrificing the rights, freedoms, and quality of living of human beings for the betterment of animals or the environment, I have a problem with that.
