Senseless slaughter is never justified.

But by destroying these species, we are essentially degrading our own quality of life and culture. ("Daddy, what were forests like?") I'd rather have these beautiful wild creatures and wild places around. To destroy them is to destroy part of our national heritage.
Besides, it takes a long time for a competing species to evolve into the niche that the extinct species filled.
