I am always amazed that there are groups that will object on the grounds of unintended consequences. Or some nebulous feeling that every species is precious. Some species suck!

Indeed; see Genesis 6:19-20
And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring btwo of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20 Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind cwill come to you to keep them alive

and not forgetting
  • All things bright and beautiful,All creatures great and small,All things wise and wonderful:The Lord God made them all.

ah,
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
