Better is a judgment that I prefer to avoid. The life cycle includes extinction. Extinction of individual members or the entire species. It's a long process that has happened over time. Some times it is sped up and other times slowed down.
Artificial attempts to delay extinction, only stave off the inevitable.
Please don't make me live forever. Some of the evolutionary steps that our species will make over the next 10,000 years depends on this generation coming to an end. A new species may even emerge at some point in the future, and "humans" may no longer populate the planet.

Better for whom? All animals have some kind of purpose, be it food for others or controller of other species. So no, nothing good can come from extinction. Not even humans (where would all the cockroaches and pigeons get their food from)

Not one.
Some need to be controlled, since they feed on human errors; but in a system of Nature they each play their part.
So the attempt to "eradicate" something only breeds a disease resistant organism. It is unrealistic and quite probably insane--but certainly reality-bashing postmodernism.
If our so-called leaders cannot learn to protect and increase the eco-systems, unpolluted and uninterfered- with, available to our magnificent wildlife--it may be we who become extinct.
Consider the polio cause. We merely made certain humans could not be affected by it; our success in that area should have taught a lesson. Apparently it didn't.

Humans are probably better
off that the dinosaurs are
extinct. But if you had a chance
to ask the creatures beforehand, I bet they would
rather be alive.

The Liger. The cross between a Lion and a Tiger.
Wait, I think it was bred for it's skills in magic.....never mind!
I think it should be bed bugs. They are gross. They feed on our dead skin, they have a very short life span and their carcasses just decompose on our beds and in our sheets....blaaah.

man, snakes just scare the holy living s*** out of me! but I think they will always be here to represent that there is horror in this life, and evil in this world.

Yes, most definitely...anyone who abuses animals or children.

In man's infinite foolishness he is incapable of making that distinction.
