The only real difference between us and the sheep is that we have mental capacity to ponder such things.
In essence, humanity is unique because we are the only animals with the ability to consider ourselves as such. Our self-awareness however doesn't change the fact that we exist for the exact same reason as every other living organism.

Our conditions are better, our lives longer, our pain is less, our species healthier and more propagated. How we did it may be unknowable, but we have the ability to do it. That's the main difference between us and the animals. They cannot improve their own conditions, at least not at our rate.
