26 ... and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over everything that creeps and crawls on the earth.” 28 And God blessed them [granting them certain authority] and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subjugate it [putting it under your power]; and rule over (dominate) the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves upon the earth.” Genesis 1.26, 28 Amplified Bible
It's obvious that God is giving us stewardship of the earth here, responsibility for its care, not a license to exploit for our individual purposes, right?
Or am I looking through my assumptions again?!
