Killing off wild predators is a stupid idea

Eliminating predators is a terrible idea from a purely ecological perspective, but in the long-term, humanity's eventually going to have the power to limit or eliminate natural animal suffering without fucking the planet we live on. And when that time comes, I sure as Hell hope that our species will have the guts to actually do it, preferably with some kind of mind uploading type of solution.

But yeah, they're wrong from a practical perspective but they're kinda right from a pure morality angle. I've watched a ton of videos of animals getting eaten alive, and while the obligate carnivore isn't at fault for obvious reasons, I'd do anything to avoid that kind of fate for myself. Nature is a tremendously evil machine based on bloodshed and suffering, and humans are more than willing to recognize this reality when it's our own necks on the chopping block; there are very few people who say we should abandon medical science or agriculture to return to the natural order.
