Except is isn't. Only humans have placed themselves above animals. In the greater sense of things, we are all equal. Animals arent ruining our planet, humans are. So who's really worth more? I'm not apologizing for not valuing a human over an animal doing what they do.
Obviously a man’s life is more valuable than an animal’s.
But the facts here also matter.
The tiger didn’t escape his enclosure. The man put himself at risk and this is a foreseeable consequence of his actions.
