You know, I gotta be honest here, I've read this comment over and over at different points this morning. I'm trying to make sense of what you're saying here, pick it apart, refute it. I'm having a hard time though. Not cause you're right, but because this entire argument is so morally barren and illogical, I don't even really know where to start.

The world, while seemingly getting smaller every decade, is still mind bogglingly massive. There is more than enough room for all of us, if we're smart about things. The ecosystems and the lives within them have a right to exist because they already exist, much like a human being has rights as a human being because he was born human. Just because we as humans superior and arguably more important, it doesn't mean that every other life form should be considered expendable, which by the very nature of your argument is what you're saying.

The fact that our activity can be so disruptive to wildlife, to ecosystems, and to biodiversity just further underscores how important it is for us to engage in responsible, sustainable behavior. We, as a collective species, through selfishness, arrogance, and carelessness are failing to do that. Poaching, over fishing, strip mining, rampant deforestation, and on and on and on, are not only demonstrably harmful, but things that can easily be curtailed if avoided altogether. There are many things we can do, some big and some small, to help make this world a better place for both humanity and the world as a whole. In order for that to happen though, we need to be mindful about how our behaviors have an impact.

Nature, through its own automated mechanisms both brutal and beautiful, creates environments like this. Humans, when we should fucking know better, are willing to let ourselves live like this. Do you mean to tell me, that you honestly and hearftully believe that we can do better by our own mechanisms? Please. Give me a break.
