The fact that we may have some unique traits as a species does not mean humans have elevated themselves above their status as a member of animal kind. And the notion that humans invented something called morality is a farce. We get all up in arms over somebody molesting a dog, and then turn right around to indulge in mass murder of our own species under the justifications of war. We are not moral, nor are we especially intelligent. We're just another animal with some peculiar habits that thinks the fact that it's unique makes it better than the rest, which defeats the concept of morality right there.
Every predatory species, in its own way, believes exactly the same thing as you have stated - that they are the one true higher species and all other species are therefore reduced to slaves and food. We are no better than the rest. If anything we're worse, because our peculiar uniqueness as a species gives us the power to destroy the planet, and we don't mind going that far to prove our illusion of independence from nature.
Man is the most arrogant and idiotic of animals. Perhaps when he can see himself as such and grow beyond that, he may become something more. Until then, don't think so much of yourself. Have some humility, and maybe you'll survive the folly that results from your unjustified beliefs.
