Only because we are as self categorized "the most intelligent species"??

I don't think we have the right to judge, kill and exterminate other species, based only on what we understand as right and wrong.
I'm not talking about hunting animals for food, but rather about killing bears, boars, raccoons , etc only because we consider them vermin
