The translators used the plural. If you are Jewish or Some other religion, you might prefer a slightly different translation.

Why did God use the plural? Don't want to argue translations, but from a Jewish perspective We will make man was a discussion with Angels. Per Rashi's commentary on the Talmud, the decision was that if there were those in heaven in G-d's image,not having them on earth might inspire jealousy. Nothing to do with "ownership" of animals, which are here for the benefit of man.
