It isn't always about actively attacking the lesser species.

For instance, bees. We don't want to hurt bees. But we've certainly done a lot of stuff that's been harmful to bee populations.

There are many other species that are endangered because of humans and their changing of the environment, too.

We endanger bees largely because we occupy their spaces to live. It does not seem like aliens want to move in, if they are visiting already.

I agree.

But I don't think your example has any parallels too the parent discussion.

Unless an alien species is currently modifing the earth's atmosphere without our knowledge. It seems pretty apparent that we humans are the ones doing the modification.

The Dilbert take of "Wanna play another game of Hide The Pellet?" comes to mind.
