The original commands are still in effect from God to Adam & Eve, multiply and subdue the earth. Have under subjection fish, animals, birds and any other creatures to protect & care for them. This is in the first 2 chapters of Genesis.
It was only after the Flood that animals were afraid of man and man was allowed to eat them. (Gen. 9:2,3)

Section 2415 of the Catechism Of The Catholic Church says many things about the 7th Commandment (You shall not steal) including this:
"The seventh commandment enjoins respect for the integrity of creation. Animals, like plants and inanimate beings, are by nature destined for the common good of past, present, and future humanity. Use of the mineral, vegetable, and animal resources of the universe cannot be divorced from respect for moral imperatives. Man's dominion over inanimate and other living beings granted by the Creator is not absolute; it is limited by concern for the quality of life of his neighbor, including generations to come; it requires a religious respect for the integrity of creation."

Try reading the first chapter in Genesis. It will tell you most everything you need to know. You can get to the Bible in digital format on the internet.

God made Mankind the "rulers" over the land. We are to care for it, as God cares for us.
Then God said "....Fill the earth and govern it."
