> It's demonstrably far, far worse. The major problem with genocide is not the disparition of a culture or ethic type, it's the killing of scores of humans that have value unto themselves. In contrast, the vast majority of legal systems and societies in existence today do not recognize the mere killing of an animal as wrong. Humans widely believe they have the right to take the life of an animal, as long as it'd done humanely, for sensible reasons and does not threaten biodiversity. So genocide and extinction are fundamentally different, orthogonal moral issues.
