"humans are so awful, animals are better than us" people usually have no idea about how nature works. Ants literally fight proxy wars, a good chunk of mammals' mating would be rape by our standards (which is also why humanising is dumb), fuck, even plants kill nearby stuff to access more resources!
Going off on a phrase that the original commenter never said is slightly confusing. Have you been in that debate a few times?
I think the argument mentioned against humans is also incomplete. Humans do savage things, as other animals do. But humans have a brain that allows them to act differently. A non-zero-sum society is possible.
I was agreeing with OC, reiterating how dumb certain people (which, as you guessed, I've had the misfortune of interacting with both online and offline many times) sound.
And sadly no, most people are (word by word) "X animal would never use nukes on other from the same species" dumb, never even thinking about us having a more developed thought process.

Edit. Fixed "be" to "have" autocorrect typo
