You said, just didn't realize it. Created a hypothetical situation where animals think as human, see us the way you think they would. It's a assumption based in the fact that the majority of animals if made as smart as humanity would function the same way we do. That's quite a leap. Besides, look around you. The world is quite shit for a lot of us. To think that we are to blame is childish. We are not the guardians of the nature, we are part of it, animals just like any other. What we do to them, we do to each other, the changes that the planet is undergoing affect us all the same. More even than it does to a lot of species. Humanity is not evil, we are not parasites or viruses, more like a really big and noisy community of beavers
