KJV - Ecclesiastes 3:19
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
Whatever happens to people also happens to animals. They both have the same breath and die in the same way. This means that humans are not better than animals because everything is meaningless.
