The simple answer to your question is no because we are both at the top of the food chain and we are omnivores.
The detailed answer isn't to do with the value of life, because everything is valuable and plays their own role. If you are going to not eat animals because you feel that you are ending an important life, then eating plants could perhaps be considered even more wrong. This is because plants form the base level of the food chain and produce food for almost every other living being, since most animals don't have the ability to make their own food. We as humans can eat both plants and animals to simply live.
But the part where our conscience should come into play is when animals are treated wrongly. If stopping this means eating less meat/food in general for all of us, it has to be done so that they are given a natural and decent life.
EDIT: I also agree with the others who posted about plants being a much easier source of food to produce for consumption as opposed to meat, which in reality is a luxury.
