Would you please share? I would really, really like to know how the argument that "humans have some special moral place in the world" would work.
Humans are the only animals that seem to be capable of understanding the concept of morality or making moral judgements.
Morality is complicated and abstract. Maybe cetaceans, chimps, and/or parrots have some concept of morality which is simply beyond the scope of the simple-grammar, concrete-vocabulary interspecies languages so far developed.
