The way humans treat animals is the same as how animals treat animals because humans are animals. Just because we are smarter doesn’t make us any less a part of the natural world.

A dolphin is smarter than a mackerel, it doesn’t make the dolphin immoral for eating them.

Humans are animals, but animals all have their unique traits. And for humans morality is a dimension they can’t remove themselves from. It’s an innate trait we are very likely born with.

Whether this can be said about dolphins or any other animal is up for debate and doesn’t even concern the question whether it is morally okay to kill and eat them.

But you’ve yet to establish eating other animals as morally wrong.

Since I believe in science and science has established that most animals can suffer eating meat is morally wrong.
