Indeed, this is demonstrable in existence if we interact with others, human or non-human animals share much in common. We don't need experts to demonstrate it to some of us, but many people don't have this knowledge or have it recognized in reality. Animals have their own live and freedom, and should be free from our harm in all respects because we don't need to use, exploit, enslave, or kill them for us to live/survive anymore. We can evolve to more moral living and consciousness, to rise above a focus on survival mindsets and justifications. Survival never determines what is moral. Thanks for the feedback :)
