Are humans more important than animals like, say horses?

I'm confused because everyone says we're bigger than them. I personally think we are brothers and whatnot, but go ahead and give me your opinion.

Humans are much more important. Horses can not do what we do and are not nearly as smart but you probably think that doesn't matter. It does.

If a God exists i think it is agreed that we are his people. he therefore made us superior and furthermore more important.

If God doesn't exist then as more evolved beings we are still superior and therefore more important.

Superiority determines importance. President is superior to vice president and also more important.

We are the dominant species on this planet; horses are not.

Important to whom? If we assume that we are the only creatures capable of making such a comparison, then I suppose we could judge ourselves more important, but only due to bias.

When god created man he made it so that we were superior to animals, so I believe that we are superior. Not saying that animals aren't smart but we are the ones who came up with everything you see today, even though in a way it all belongs to god because he gave us all the materials needed to make them :)

Your comment is so stupid. More important because God created us? God did not create us (the God you are referring to does not exist, never has, never will). Evolution... but I understand your mind is lacking "spark". It seems evolution has not done its charm of intelligence on all of us... Everyone has the right to be as stupid as one wants.

But seriously, your comment is offending human intelligence. Go educate yourself and pull your mind out of "the box of religious bullshit".

These stupid comments I see here so often in so short period are seriously beginning to worry me. Are REALLY that many people so stupid?

I'm really glad, the country I live in, about 86% of the population does not care about any religious crap.

OK but we are all entitled to an opinion and my opinion is that god created us to be better! It's simple. It may be your opinion that god doesn't exist but I think he does and you will not change that by calling me stupid! Also your so sure he's not there give me proof that isn't there. I may not be able to supply you with proof but you have no proof that he's not there! Eveolution is a theory! And a theory that I don't agree with the fact that people think we evolved from monkeys can you not see how stupid it sounds! Also the argument can be offending to other religious people you know! Will some people on this site please think about what they are typing? Some of it can be offending! It's not to me all this does is anger me because you think you have a right to judge me for my religion, well guess what the world doesn't work like that!

Why isn't everyone like you and me? Truly, it's insulting to the human race that people still believe in a talking man in the sky who came into their minds when they were mere children.

There are no religious children; there are only children with religious parents.

Humans are far more important then horses. Humans can do alot more things then horses.

Like fuck up the environment and drive both humans and horses to extinction? Yeah, that's probably beyond the ability of a horse, but I don't see how this makes us more important that a horse, simply capable of more.

What would make something inferior or superior to something else if capability was not involved?

Whether or not we are more important, I am loyal to the human race, and I shall defend our corner. Personally, I have never liked horses, but the point is we are superior to them in almost every way. If you say 'we are Gods' then do you refer to Poseidon, you allegedly created horses just to look good in front of a lady? If so, then of course compared to them we are Gods. I would be ashamed to say my brother is a horse.

I think we are equal because we are all living things and not bionic and stuff. If we aren't going to treat all animals equally, the least they can do is ban veal.

We're kinda equal, as we all animals.

But if you compare a rational, conscious human with a mindless killing virus, things may get a little complicated.

Can i get another option to choose from because neither of those options are even close to being accurate. just saying
