I almost commented on that the first time. It struck me as a red herring. Sapience is not even a universal feature of humanity. There are animals that I have known who are 'possessing of more wisdom and discernment' than the least among the humans I have known. Sapience is not the greatest distinguishing feature of humanity and I seriously doubt that you value humans in proportion to their degree of 'sapience' in practice.
I like wolves. I like novelty. No other reason is needed.
Having been a human seems to be a strong argument in favour of unfairly privileging them over other species, even endangered.
