How will our relationship with animals benefit our world in the long run?
Starting from a smaller scale, having a pet companion is therapeutic. It can help in the emotional release of human emotions. Caring for a cat or a dog stimulates the sensory feelings of human. This also benefits the animals.
"Being around dogs can have a calming effect,” pet writer Maryann Mott reported for National Geographic News a few years ago. “Studies have shown that physiological changes occur when people touch dogs: a drop in heart rate, lower blood pressure, and reduced stress.”
Looking at a larger scale, today's biggest industries benefit from animals. The tourism industry of Africa contributes largely on their economy. The breeding and domestication of animals help produce enough food for the world's largest fast food chain restaurants.

What pleasure do humans get from torturing animals?
Zoosadism is a term coined by Ernest Borneman referring to pleasure (sometimes sexual pleasure) derived from cruelty to animals. Zoosadism is part of the Macdonald triad, a set of three behaviors that are a precursor to sociopathic behavior.
Studies have shown that individuals who enjoy or are willing to inflict harm on animals are more likely to do so to humans. One of the known warning signs of certain psychopathologies, including antisocial personality disorder, is a history of torturing pets and small animals.
How will the extinction of humans affect the food chain?
Possible causes of extinction:
Environmental collapses
Long-term habitat threats
Evolution
Population decline
Scientific accidents
In reality though, if humans are removed from the food chain there would be no much difference. If we take a look at the food chain in a pyramid structure. Obviously us humans would be on top because no other animal feeds on us. Just like a pyramid structure, if a piece is removed at the top there would be not much disturbance at the bottom. Similarly, if the vice versa happened, the whole human world as we know it, would crumble.
