It is wrong to rely on natural selection for animals to adapt to humans. If that is our philosophy pretty soon we will be left with nothing but numerous species

It is wrong to rely on natural selection for animals to adapt to humans. If that is our philosophy pretty soon we will be left with nothing but numerous species of cockroaches, rats and mosquitoes.
There are many animals that are well adapted to live with humans but most of them are actually bad for humans. Thus, we have to ensure other species survive if for nothing other than the whole they leave ecosystem will likely be filled by harmful species.
For example, the biggest beneficiaries of those millions of dead birds are the mosquitoes and various other insects that are most often food for those dead birds.
