On a small scale humans will usually pick humans over animals. Emotions take care of that. However on a big scale emotions stop working and 'other' human life isn't worth all that much.

Ideas, revenge, money and power are all more valuable then human life. Also animal life is frequently more valuable then human life. Plenty of save the ... animal charities are flourishing while children are still dying of starvation all over the world.

Are we really better then animals? The human race is pretty easy about killing their own.
"Out of all the mammals on Earth, only chimpanzees and humans tend to enact lethal violence upon members of their own species. Other mammals may display aggression or violence in order to compete for food, territory or mates, but rarely act so violently as to kill their competitors."

Googling "humans saving animals" turns up pages of animals saving humans instead. Irony?
