Answer 2

Only Human Beings Can Act Morally. Another reason for giving stronger preference to the interests of human beings is that only human beings can act morally. Since animals cannot act morally, they will not sacrifice their own good for the sake of others, but will rather pursue their good even at the expense of others.

Humans have a moral sense because their biological makeup determines the presence of three necessary conditions for ethical behavior:

(i) The ability to anticipate the consequences of one's own actions. (ii) The ability to make value judgments.

(iii) The ability to choose between alternative courses of action.
