This is an interesting tangent, not so much value of wildlife vs humans, but how about work of art vs a human life or something of cultural significance vs human life.
Would killing someone in the act of protecting, say, the Mona Lisa or some other significant work of art from destruction be justified? I’d like to think I am fairly pro-human, but if some no-name dork was threatening to destroy a one of kind priceless piece of art, I would definitely feel conflicted.
