BOOM HEADSHOT

Don't count your chickens before they've hatched. If you look at the "criticism" section in the very article you linked, you'd see that this issue is still disputed (is it "intelligence"or is it just adaptation), and it all comes doesn to what definition you give intelligence.

Second, you are being ridiculous when you claim that Kasz's claim that the difference in intelligence is as great as the difference in intelligence between the plant and animal kingdoms would make us an actual "human kingdom" separate from animals and that therefore the value of the human species should be judged against the value of the entire plant kingdom. 

I never actually took this seriousl FTR.

As for "in the food chain you have to compare life-forms on the different levels, and humans are alone at the very top of the food chain, so they can essentially be compared to entire inferior levels":  you have yet to justify this. 

Um, it is a scientific fact that humans are at the very top of the food chain, and only themselves are located at said level. Also, it's a fact that animals located on the same level are of the same importance (that's why they're on the same level after all), and since plants are all located on the same level (the foundation), then you can easily compare all plants with humans.

No lifeforms depend on us?  You are so ignorant.  We have cultivated/created many species that would be devastated if not destroyed if we disappeared, because we spread them and use them around the world.  And removing predators will cause the lower lifeforms to destabilize their own population, so that argument is bunk as well.

You'd better watch your tongue. You're actually bringing into discussion man's interference in nature? The fact that they would be unable to survive on their own in nature shows that they are not adapted to live in the natural world. Without us these specias would either have to adapt to living in nature, or die. If they cannot defend themselves and procure food for themselves, then they do not deserve to exist (it's called survival of the fittest). Plus, the food chain reffers to how animals eat eachother in order to survive. Those animals you mentioned still eat plants or animals lower than them on the food chain. They do not eat humans, therefore they do not actually "depend" on the existence of humans (when we're talking about the food chain).

And if you remove predators, what would lead to the destruction of the environment would be that the herbivores would eat all plant life, thus again signaling the maximum importance plants have for the ecosystem. If you remove herbivores too however, plant overpopulation would really not be an actual problem (natural selection and evolution would fix everything right up). Remove humans... nothing significant happens in the ecosystem (in many ways it would probably be better), so humans really are quite unecessary to Earth's ecosyste. Plants however... remove them and we'll be dead way before we run out of food, simply because we'll have no more oxygen.
