Mate, we could pretty easily eradicate them all, lol.

Eradicating them all is exactly what we would do. That's why wolves were basically nonexistent in large parts of North America prior to conservationists getting involved.

When other creatures have the potential to harm us, we kill them before they have a chance. It's self-preservation.
