There are probably more than one, but the passenger pigeon comes to mind first

Plenty... Dodos, Moas, Tasmanian tiger, The European Lion, Uros Bovis (Aurochs), Wolves have been hunted to extintion in many parts of the world... American buffaloes were eradicated from the Great Plains, etc. It's a very long list.

the extinction of steller´s sea cow and passenger pigeons simply cannot be explained by anything else than greedy hunting - not to prevent starving, but just out of unnecessary greediness.
and great auk, dodo, just to name the most publicly known. it is absolute nonsense that predators or natural development or anything else (like somebody said here) could cause the extinction of , say, passenger pigeon... or where "its your own ..." thinks the last passenger pidgeon or Bos primigenius cow is hiding to this days....

Actually, none. You would be foolsih to think, that "man" could possibly find every single animal of a certain kind and totally destroy every single one of them. Just because you no longer see them, doesn't mean they are still not around. It simply means they have made it more difficult for people to find them. Also, you are forgetting that there are such things as natural preditors. Animals that, yes in deed, eat other animals.

With billions of passenger pigeons flying in our skies, by 1918 man had found a way to eradicate them.

Several species. Mammoths may have been wiped out by group hunting.

Off the top of my head, the Mammoth (in North America, by the Indians), and also the Dodo (by European sailors).

I'm sure I'll think of ten more as soon as I post this.
