Are humans the most destructive and savage animal on Earth. Would Earth be better off without humans?

Question

Come on, I know that is what you environmentalist's think. Doesn't anyone have the courage to answer?

Answer 1

Of course we are. Of course it would. As humans, we create unnatural waste, polluting the air, water, and earth. We unfairly raise and slaughter animals. We cut down trees and plants. We take what we want, not what we need. We're destroying ecosystems and the environment through pollution and by building roads and towns because of our expanding population. Most animals reproduce to avoid extinction. We do it for fun. There's too many of us, and the entire Earth is suffering because of all of our needs and wants.

Answer 2

We're doing a pretty good job of it aren't we.  When would u think we'll become extinct?  At this rate, it won't take long.

Answer 3

Yes and 100% yes.

Answer 4

i knew the answer to this question 37 years ago,when i was 5. i dont think you need to thinkl about it anymore. yes we are bad

Answer 5

The pyscologist Freud had a pessimistic view on the human race and believed that humans are naturally bad.

Answer 6

Yes, kill all the humans, start first with yourself...  Then we'll work on the rest...

Humans are the cause of all the worlds problems... you're correct.

Answer 7

Yes, Earth would be beter off without humans. Without humans there wouldn't have been global warming the the first place.

Answer 8

All the people that believe this can start without me.

If all the tree huggers are gone and things look brighter, I will sit back, smile and say thank you, but don't expect me to follow.

Answer 9

all the animals would not die so fast. the plants wont die, trees wont be chopped down, all things would be natural and beautiful :) everday is earth day

Answer 10

Yes, kill all people and leave the earth to the animals.  After all, they were first.  However, flatulence from the animals may cause global warming so the earth should not have any biological life at all. Only grass, trees, leaves, etc.

Answer 11

THOSE ARE THE THOUGHTS OF THE ALIENS THAT ARE TRYING DELETE ALL LIFE ON EARTH AFTER THEIR INVESTIGATION OF CAPTURING CERTAIN PEOPLE IN MANY DIFFERENT WALKS OF LIFE. OR YOU ONE OF THEM? SINCE THEIR THE ONLY ONES ON EARTH WITH THIS TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY.

Answer 12

That's a meaningless question without humans, as we define what is right and wrong.  Nature doesn't care, so if humans did not exist, there would be no "better off."  Not trying to be anthropocentric, but really, there is no other type of organism known to actually contemplate what is right or wrong, so the question would be irrelevant without humans.

Answer 13

well, i would say the earth would be quite different if there weren't any humans, however, it is not to say that something else (say viruses, bacteria or insects, who knows) couldn't do as much if not more damage. we don't know for sure if destruction is inevitable.

Answer 14

The human kind was created to a higher purpose in life but with all the advances we have stepped back instead of growing. We have become a race of cry babies and it's easier to say that we are "destructive or savages" than trying to take responsibilities of our actions and be the one to start something positive or change things. We don't want to look bad in front of our "friends" so many times we say a lot of things and become very opinionated but we don't take any actions. As a matter of fact a lot has to do with our leadership who prefer someone that prefers ignorance and look the other way and do nothing than 2 or 3 people that will strive for a change to better things because then they have to do something like "work".

I encourage everyone to take part of the change and demonstrate how smart and intelligent we are and that we are meant for better things... God created us with a great purpose and gave us the responsibility of of stewardship over everything that is around us... but sometimes we thinks so low of our self that look the other way because we fear failure... but we learn by failing and trying that's how things get better.

Believe that you are bless, and God has created you for greater things...

Answer 15

Oh yes. My hypothesis is that God (or gods/goddesses or none) made a mistake and turned hi/her/their back/s for a second and we came down out of the trees and started building roads and Mega-Malls (I mean really, who needs a Mega-Mall?) and other crappy things that kill the planet the we rely on. We are slowly killing ourselves and everything on the planet that we SHARE it with (no, people, it's not just here for us). Even if we do make it to another planet before we pollute ALL the water/ kill all the other natural resources, what are we going to do with all the other animals that can't build space ships? They are our responsibility as we are apparently the most advanced species. We can't just leave them and all the plants to die, and there's no way we can get everything onto a shuttle. BTW, space ships are a compete waste of time and energy, we should take care of our own planet BEFORE planning little excursions to other ones. So in review, the Earth would be better (and more peaceful) without humans.
