Seems you don't know what the definition of selfish is.

No. humans dying is not more important than non-humans dying. Sentient life is sentient life. Cows suffer as much as humans do.

I can't afford to travel to other countries to help others. I can afford to help others HERE. Edmonton's homeless, children, non-humans, victims of spousal abuse and rape --- why must I hitchike to a developing country in order to help others when there are plenty of humans and non-humans suffering where I am?

1. Foxes need flesh to live, and the kill as efficiently as they can.

2. Most non-humans don't have the higher reasoning and morality as we do, which is why we arrest thieves and child abusers but we don't arrest hyenas that steal & lions that kill cubs. If you take what non-humans do as an excuse to do it to, then almost everything we consider immoral in our society would be justified. Child abuse/killing is part of the natural world. Theft, rape & cannibalism too. But shouldnt we know better?

Value of non-humans is not a "fantasy". What IS fantasy is your species bias.

Just like people who say "I agree helping others is wonderful, but only when others means whites/men/heterosexuals/non-J­ews/adults." A sentient being is a sentient being regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, IQ level, skills, class, species, etc.

Non-humans DO matter - their desire to NOT suffer or die is not fantasy, it is very real.

(Editted to fix typos)

Helping others is a wonderful way to live. A selfish life is not the only way of life out there.
