No animal is created in the image and likeness of God. The bible teaches that humanity is unique, the pinnacle and purpose of God's creation. Much of the religious philosophy behind the green movement denies this. It is nature worship. People speak of the spirit of Gaia which emanates from every living and even non-living thing and is somehow the spiritual personification of the planet.
Human beings are essentially the same as dolphins or trees.
This philosophy even appears in children's cartoons. Genesis says, no, God is distinct from creation, he is the creator, and mankind is special. Man is blessed by God and given the command to fill the earth, to subdue it, and to rule over the animal kingdom. It does not mean that God told us to use up the earth's resources any way we want to. It doesn't say that.
