I’m not saying that we should let bees or sheep or any important animals that benefit humans and the ecosystem. But why the hell do we need to maintain wild animals such as tigers and dolphins if they don’t provide food or material for engineering. Seriously why do we need to save some obscure endangered animal if the species itself is deadly too, which is a problem for humans and livestock. It’s okay if the species dies out, we don’t need to make a big fuss about some fuckass animal going extinct. It’s a part of nature and history, nothing will remain the same for centuries.
This is the same kind of thinking that makes people want to stop paying for things like disability benefits. I mean disabled people are no benefit to humanity in that we don’t provide anything tangible. But we should still have a right to exist. Same for other animals. Why should everything revolve around humans? It’s speciesist.
