Natural Centrism

In reading through Silliman's book, I am inclined to consider the
various perspectives of sentient and non-sentient non-human
animals being discussed.

(To me) the fatal flaw of many moral value theories is that they
are homocentric. But this notion drew me to consider the other
centrisms throughout the animal kingdom. Are not lions entirely
lion-centric? And this example can be thrown at nearly any
social animal group in the expanse of the earth. Silliman's book
even cites further examples (the vampire bats) of this system
that emphasises the importance of the particular species survival.

While we've covered that the level of sentience found in most other
animals does not lead us to believe that they have developed
theories to be centric about, but in their natural habits, they
display an unconscious (perhaps) theory that values their united
survival as of the most importance.

So I suppose we cannot, as a centric species, be condemned
for our theory developing. But as (possibly) the most sentient beings,
on Earth at least, we must to be held responsible for how we use
that sentience. And mis-using and exploiting other non-human
animals and natural resources is a shameful waste of high-level
sentience.
