    It’s always about power, and control, and taking from others

    Most parasites & predators also praxis the above.
    This isn’t solely a homo sapiens issue that needs addressing.

    Everyone thinks they and they alone are the most important person in the room.

    Narcissistic personality disorder also affects animals too.

    I’m speciesist. I don’t even know if that’s a word

    It’s a word, and why sapien speciation supremacy is leading the charge towards total planetary extinction.

    Humans suck, but Fire Hawks are just as bad if left alone.

      That article is about the destruction humans do, not fire hawks. Some landscapes benefit from the spread of fire (fire has been part of the ecosystem of Australia for tens of thousands of years), and I’m not aware of any research that shows fire hawks cause environmental destruction at a level remotely near what humans cause.

        It is believed that fire hawks are the primary reason Australia lost most of its forested land, and is mostly barren now. I am using them as an example of intelligent life choosing genocide as a strategy. There are other death cycling living beings causing more catastrophes than fire hawks alone: Ants, aphids, beavers, etc…
