Some bad news for VHEMT Crowd
Take this, you Anti-Human... Humans.

:D

If we removed humanity, would it really be a good thing?

Case in point against removing humanity and also a point against racism and genocide too.

Take the Pig-footed Bandicoot for example. It's extinct.

Why?

Because of humans and what other humans did to these humans.

"The cause of the extinction remains uncertain: neither of the two most destructive introduced exterminator species, the fox and the rabbit, had arrived in south-west Western Australia when the Pig-footed Bandicoot disappeared from that area. Feral cats were already common, which may offer an explanation; it is perhaps more likely that the decline was caused by a double habitat change. First, the end of many thousands of years of Aboriginal burning which, being confined to a patchwork of small areas at any one time, ensured both fresh new growth in the recently burnt areas and adjacent older growth for shelter and as a base for recolonisation. (Australia's Aboriginal population declined by around 90% during the 19th century, largely because of the introduction of European diseases, and the remaining Aboriginies were often no longer permitted to carry on their traditional land-management and hunting practices.) Second, following on the heels of the near-extermination of the Aboriginies, came the introduction of vast numbers of sheep and cattle, leading to significant changes in soil structure, plant growth, and food availability."

Humans are a part of that grand cycle of Life too, if we remove us, what else will join the Pig-footed Bandicoot in extinction?
