You’re not wrong but I think you’re missing the point. The point is that a lot of people believe that everything that makes Earth has an intrinsic value in and of itself. That doesn’t mean that us as humans as part of the earth can’t capture some of that value and put it to our own efforts. It does mean that we should have respect for the living and non-living things that make up our planet and can’t take everything. Just because Dolphin’s didn’t invent the light bulb doesn’t mean they don’t have their own value to themselves. It just means that we don’t understand it.
Oh yeah I didn’t mean it as in because we are superior we should step over all of the living beings on the earth. They might not have the same mental capability as us but I do agree that they can feel and do serve a purpose on the earth alongsides us.
