The people who in their arrogance and ignorance will say it's crazy and rediculous because they think humans have more right to live then anything else because that is what they are. All living things are equal, we all have the same will to live and we should all have the same rights to life.

Not all living things are equal. The whole concept of life isn't based around man and animal sitting around a fire eating smores and singing songs about love and friendship. Nature and evolution and survival are all based around survival of the best species. Mankind originally was pretty much a prey species to larger preditors and we evolved past them. We realized that animals provided nutrition and taste and we conquored and domesticated them. We can create weapons and tools and concepts. I'm sorry but I am right now the superior to a cow, or a chicken or a pig or a lamb because we as humans have found that they are useful to us not as equals but as sources of food and material. Who knows maybe someday the chicken will leap past us in the evolutionary scale and start seeing us as a food group.
Am I superior to most of my fellow animal carnivores. For the most part we are because we can kill them to protect ourselves or keep ourselves warm, but there are a stupid few that get picked off. Survival of the fittest in play.
And you can bet that if that poor stupid cow had a chance to get the drop on us, he wouldn't be crying about the secretness of life, he'd kill us with no hestiation because thats how life works.
