Is this what you mean, Mrs. D ?
[26] And he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth. [27] And God created man to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he created them. [28] And God blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth. [29] And God said: Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind, to be your meat: [30] And to all beasts of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to all that move upon the earth, and wherein there is life, that they may have to feed upon. And it was so done.
At the end of the episode with Noah, -- the end of Genesis 8, and all of Genesis 9--- God makes a covenant with all the living things on earth, and with Noah and his family, telling Noah to let all the wild animals come out and mate and breed and fill the earth. He also pledges, on His part, not to send another devastating flood. That clearly shows that God values the lives of all His creatures, and enlists man in His efforts to save them as well.
The whole of the Creation story shows that God thinks everything He made is good. That in itself would be a strong indicator that we should avoid wanton or reckless destructive behavior.
