Their species are not in danger. In fact, they are succcessful because they sort of domesticated us (like wheat). Think in the survival of bees, the ones that spread the genes is the queen, so the death of laborers don't damage the specie (I know hat won't be of any consolation for the cows that die daily).
In the other hand, in that massive number you may end having many extinct species (that may or not be critical for the Australian ecosystem, but still after they are extinct is over forever), and putting many others on the verge of extinction (either for the amount of individuals killed or the ecosystem damage).
- geddy 7y agoIf the concern is species extinction, the largest contributing factor globally is deforestation, which is primarily driven by industrial agriculture so we can produce more grain and soybeans to feed animals. So again it ties back to the animals we eat for food. We're already torching millions of acres to make room for more plants to feed back to animals. And those are intentional fires and logging operations! Ultimately what I'm saying is that our bottomless need to consume meat directly contrasts with our desire to prevent wildfires and species extinction. In fact, the first thing is directly causing the second.
