Which group’s rights—human participants or nonhuman animals—are the most important to protect? why? not really a right or wrong answer, but give a detailed explanation

I personally have to go with nonhumans.

Most of the animals are defenseless, especially when humans fight unfair.

Think about, humans kill lions. But it should be a fair fight, obviously the lion would win. But humans have crafted weapons to harm these creatures a lot of the times for absolute no reason besides greed.

I feel like animals are very defenseless and clueless and humans take advantage to that to the max- sadly.

If you need a longer explanation, I can give more.

Hope this helps!
