If this were a perfect plane, the most intelligent life form on a planet would indeed be the Responsible party, like the parental control-- but unfortunately that is not the case. The damage done to the ecosystem is not the animals fault, nor is the needless extinction. Although some is inherently natural do to the natural whims of fate or whatever you may call it, most of the current dwindling population is attributed to us. The parent. We have molested and beaten our starving child.
So we are at best an irresponsible parent, and at worst children ourselves for we have destroyed without taking responsibility for our actions. Gotta rebuild your lego sets.
