Do you think humans are the most important creatures alive?

In regard to "seakhelp", of course the world would be "insignificant" to us, without each other, but not to animals and insects, they are impeded by us and we have near destroyed the world, even for ourselves.

Yesterday evening I came across a box turtle, she had been digging a hole to lay her eggs in. Watching this take place in my front yard, I started to cry. It was so incredible to see this turtle, it's innate instincts and devotion to it's nesting. It went on for the entire night, I checked on it frequently, it was in the position to begin labor and I really wanted to witness this, by the morning it had covered the hole with dirt. This made me reflect all day. I also throw birds, squirrels and yes, even the crows, organic bread, every morning. Once again this afternoon, I watched the birds and squirrels eat and gather. Watching them all respond and create a system (one crow flies overhead and scares off potential threats to their food) They all fly down to grab their piece and dip it in the bird bath, the squirrels wait until the crows are gone and attain food in spurts, then retreat. It really does amaze me, watching nature at work and reminds me that they live to survive and their innate senses are incredible, the world is shared and even the smallest insects have their own purpose on this earth. I respect this very much.

Do I believe we're important? Yes, more important? No. Superior in the food chain? Yes; with our hands and ancestors, we've evolved as an incredibly adaptable and innovative species. But to a fault, we are destroying the earth in a multitude of facets. We live to thrive, indulge, work less (in some cases) to attain "more".. we want things faster, because we are now so domestic and impatient, we as a species would not survive without every man made "essential", because we are spoiled and generally have lost a lot of our natural instinct. Which is not imperative, yet. We do not need to survive in the wilderness or be "without" our luxuries.

But you cannot disregard the importance of every little living thing, that has it's purpose.

I love the humans but I think things would be better if we just stood in tribes. Plus, humans are not "devils" I think you all are just forgetting about how other animals that aren't in our stage don't know what we're doing. A giraffe doesn't know that the air is getting polluted. I'm sure aliens from far beyond are just like us, disliking their own kind because of advances in technology. But better yet, humans are actually starting to make better technology and reserving parts of land for wildlife so hope for the best from humans.

"Important" is such a loaded word that I don't even know what it really means. All animal life is important, including human life, and it's all about equally important.

Without people, I feel like everything else is just so much bland entropy. It takes a person to apply significance to stuff. When a bird is chirping, all that's effectively happening is that it's yelling at other birds to stay away from its territory. When a person is looking at that, they can analyze it on so many level. They can talk about the sound waves produced by the bird, they can compare it to other birds, they can write a poem about it and so on. Without people, the world would be far more drab, perhaps to the point of being completely insignificant.

"fond of their race" Perhaps you meant to say species, but maybe you didn't?
Humans are the most destructive creatures on this planet, and I do not understand why they feel their wishes and desires take precedence over the survival of all other species.
For instance, what gives us the right to slaughter whales, another sentient species, just because we wish to? We do not need to kill them to survive or even for necessary reasons, but we kill them anyway.
We are exterminating species at an alarming rate by poisoning the environment, cutting down the forests or polluting the seas, but no one seems to care, even though the loss of some of these species (bees, for instance) will lead to our own extinction.
This planet would be so much better off were the humans extinct.

Despite all evil done by human beings against themselves, against other animals and against Mother Nature, humanity is still the best stuff that exists in the Earth. I feel that listening Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, seeing sculptures and paitings of Da Vinci, Michelangelo and other genius. I forget monsters like Hitler and others admiring wonderful things made by human minds and hands. It's possible the existence of something better in the infinity of the Universe. But nobody knows.

I am ashamed to be alive because 16 people said yes.

If mankind needed to eat exotic rhino brains to survive, they would have been domesticated and farmed thousands of years ago so we could have a good meal.

It's not even narcissistic to believe that the human animal is so intellectually superior any other know animal/being.
Humans are the only animal that cooks food.
