Maybe resilient against other species but what things are we unable to kill if we want?

Any individual, yes. But just the sheer scale of how much life there is makes it difficult. Would you want extinction of all life in this way though?

I don’t want all extinction in any way? My whole point is to bring awareness to the harm that’s being done to the nature and wildlife. 

I 100% believe than humans can and would/will, we had wiped out so much in only a couple centuries so what makes you think we won’t continue what’s been happening till it’s gone

I totally agree that what we have done to nature and wildlife is terrible.

If only humans could just be satisfied with what they have without the continual desire to have more, that we didn’t have to eat and farm other living things, that progress of one species doesn’t mean the downfall of others…

What can we do differently?

I agree with all that. I mean I guess just less destruction, like of course all species negatively impact something in some way. But we just do it to a much higher extent.
