Anthropocentric
1. The idea that the universe revolves around humanity and humanity's interests.

Unfortunately, almost the entire human population, with the exception of some brave-hearted environmentalists, believe that humanity is more important than ANYTHING. Go ahead, kill as many zebras you need to make your goddam line of fashionable coats. OH, POOR ZEBRA! BUT NICE COAT! :D :D :D!

Stupid anthropocentric people!
