I think that's the second fact. The first fact is that this species causes an immense amount of suffering and death to humans. Not considering this ongoing harm is status quo bias.
I, too, think it's likely no ecological disaster will occur, but at the same time it's still possible. Nevertheless, from a cost-benefit perspective, for me it's a risk worth taking.

- fallingknife 5y agoWhat reasoning? If safety laws were intended to reduce environmental damage, then, yes. But they clearly aren't.
- bee_rider 5y agoI think you will have to work pretty hard to pull many supporters to the 'pro-human-death' team. Most people, I think, are in favor of protecting the ecosystem implicitly because it makes the world a more pleasant place for us to live in. There's talk about not harming the planet for philosophical reasons but that's all window dressing. Humans work for humans.

- zionic 5y agoThere’s a rabid strain of environmentalism that’s downright anti-human. The only moral good is for us to do absolutely nothing/not exist. I can’t ever take those people seriously, vs people who see it as humanity’s role to be good stewards of the earth and operate in balance with it.
- whimsicalism 5y agoI just ignore it, we all know they don't actually believe it in their heart of hearts. It's just a failure of empathy, which is all too common nowadays. People just like being edgy, best to give them no mind.
