Should humans be permitted to "use" other species to make human life easier/ better?

Humans and chimpanzees diverged from our common ancestor more than six million years ago. Fossil evidence points to the ways which we have gradually changed. We left the trees, started walking and began to live in larger groups. And then our brains got bigger. Physically we are another primate, but our bigger brains are unusual.
We don't know exactly what led to our brains becoming the size they are today, but we seem to owe our complex reasoning abilities to it.
It is likely that we have our big brain to thank that we exist at all. When we – Homo sapiens – first appeared about 200,000 years ago we weren't alone. We shared the planet at least four other upright cousins; Neanderthals, Denisovans, the "hobbit" Homo floresiensis and a mysterious fourth group.

You should complement that humans should use other types of ways to benefit the species and not getting unbalanced trofic chain, consequently the human is being affected also.
