    People always say this as some sort of “gotcha” statement, but what we do to them is clearly very different from their normal life cycle and something we have the will to stop doing or somehow make up for the damage unlike other natural events like volcanoes erupting or meteors striking.

      How different is it than ladybugs and aphids, except for we (think we) have the will to do better than our nature demands? Also, I think I made it pretty clear that I don’t think that stance does our species credit. But I would say the outcome is very natural, even if natural isn’t exactly desirable.
