Human beings are far more invasive than any other species; we litter and
pollute far more (to an exponential degree). Look alongside the road as
you drive to work. It's disgusting; much more so than some innocuous,
biodegradable Canada Goose poop on a patch of grass.

So by the same token in your argument, shall we nuke the humans, too?
Unthinkable and repugnant, yes, of course. Why should it be any different,
then, for any other species?

IMNSHO, we don't have the right to play God until we have our own act
together. Vegetarianism isn't the issue here.
