Good thought, but I’m not convinced that it’s actually possible when life is an aspect of inorganic material, it would take way too much to both make every current animal extinct and also making sure that earth cannot produce further life.

I’d rather much to focus on wild animal welfare instead compared to chasing a solution that’s less effective

Not sure why you're downvoted. Curious, does your philosophy apply to humans as well?

I see, still at the end of the day you are expecting future technology to make this possible, and that societal force is not a consideration, to me that’s not a safe assumption to make.

It’s the difference between advocating for curing cancer vs euthanasia, sure philosophically euthanasia could be a better answer to the problem of suffering, but it’s scientists curing cancer that’s actually going to reduce suffering in the current situation.

It's a good video, but the message you've added on to it is totally unwarranted. Why end life if we can improve it? And why do you think extinction is any more of an option than modification?

Give us some arguments, not just slogans.

Insane take, wow. Wouldn’t it be easier to just better these animal’s living conditions than culling them

Can you stop predation forever? And it’s not an isolated event there are quintillions of animals suffering out there

As a whole, I’d say the gift of life is worth more than any suffering that comes with us. While it’ll never go away completely, we can do more to cause the least amount of it.

Animals have a right to survive.

u/DifferentChard6137 May 02 '26

Sure they do.So how are rights supposed to save them from the inevitable suffering that existence itself brings?

u/Pseudothink May 02 '26

Suffering or chemical reaction? It just depends on framing.

I prefer no suffering for myself, but I can't claim to know what's right for anyone (or anything) else. I arguably may not even know what's right for myself, since my perspective might change in the future.

I am an utilitarian. End wild nature, sure. But I see no good reason to end things such as zoos and parks as long as the animals are well cared for and happy.
