Re: extinct animals

I've been thinking about the whole endangered and extinct animals thing. My thought is that species become extinct at the expense of human population growth. We destroy their habitats to make room for ourselves in other words. Now, you could take any other species on earth that isn't human, and they would do the same thing. If wolves could, and their population grew enough, they would cause other species, including humans, to become extinct as they invade their habitats to make room for themselves.

My point is...as a species of our own, are we not "born" to reproduce and make our species grow? Although seeing species become extinct is sad, and I have no problem helping prevent it to a certain extent, I still think it is a natural process. As certain populations grow, others shrink at their expense. This has been going on far longer than man has walked the earth, and will probably happen to us eventually. Although it will more than likely be caused by overpopulating, rather than a different species "overtaking" us.
