I'm a firm believer humans are the stewards of earth. To most that means we must take care of it, to me that means we have domain over it. The difference is we can do bad too, and it's not really objectively wrong in my opinion. If I want to shoot a deer in the head because I'm bored, I should be allowed to. The only living thing on earth with rights is humans.

Humans are not the stewards of earth because we are not entitled to unrestricted power and control over the planet or its inhabitants. We have responsibilities toward the environment, but we cannot disregard ecological and other natural constraints. Additionally, our ability to do bad is still wrong—and the potential for destruction outweighs the occasional act of entertainment hunting. No living thing on earth has rights, but human rights and the rights of non-human species have to co-exist peacefully, since both cannot be violated without infringing on each other’s basic needs. This can only occur through ethical responsibility and respectful treatment of our planet, not through unchecked dominion. Ultimately, Earth's well-being is not subordinate to human satisfaction or curiosity.
