Because everything on this planet and beyond exists only for humans to exploit and use up? That’s a very narrow take on things.

No. Animals that humans breed, farm, and that rely on humans for every aspect of their lives. They exist for humans to exploit.

That is a very narrow part of things

Isn't that a circular argument?

They only exist for humans to exploit because humans put them in that situation.

So because humans started exploiting them, obviously we can’t stop. Right.
