Right, but humans are here now. We are not going to willingly endure a mass extinction event for another species to thrive in our place.

I don't disagree. I'm all for our species surviving. But let's not delude ourselves, like the initial comment did, that we are doing this for the good of the planet. It's for us. This is valid, sure. But it's not the good of the ecosystem or any such thing.
