I still don't agree with your stance. I view homo sapiens as superior to other species because we have free will and enough brain power to actually make full use (and then some) of our environment.
That's what seperates us from the other little beasties, we, as a species are able to live above our environmental standard. As such, we might not be entitled to all the stuff we get, but we can damn well take it.
I don't agree with killing animals just for certain parts (pelts, tusks, fins) and I don't agree with completely unmanaged collection of resources (shark finning is getting very out of hand, the overuse and destruction of rainforest) but if it's manageable and if animal is used in its entirety (or at least close) I see no reason we can't slaughter, devour and harvest animals.
