An otter? Really? 
Why not?
I think the most problematic development in the history of humanity is the development of self-awareness. The knowledge of our own mortality is powerful and existentially meaningful. It may be the origin of many of the worst nature.
Oh wait. We all are the beneficiaries of the greatest development in evolution. As if evolution had a goal in mind.
Hmm, that would be a perfect methane generator.
Most would take it as an observation.
Exactly how do you substantiate the claim that “we humans now occupy and thrive on the vast majority of the planet”?
I would happily exterminate all poisonous snakes.
I would rather not give the mice and rats an extra leg up, so I will keep the snakes.
Not me. Not the poison snakes. Let the cats have the mice.
Societal inequality has more to do with laziness and/or bad choices in most cases.
At least for the never do wells.
Snakes are way more efficient at killing mice and other rodents than cats.
If not for snakes we would be overrun in rodents.
You think we have to keep poisonous ones as well? I say heck no! 
Most snakes are nonpoisonous.
Bad choices. Like the the domestication of plants and animals?
They all play an important role in their ecosystems.
Eastern Diamondbacks are an important part of the ecosystem in the south. Plus they are beautiful snakes. Dangerous, but beautiful.
I bury industrial waste in school zones.
Don’t worry, I got a permit.
More like not getting an education…having any number of kids out of wedlock.
Sorry but if i see them i kill them.
So, you have no real clue what I’m talking about. If you wish, I can explain it to you, as I would with a student.
I’m not sure anybody in here knows what you are talking about lately.
You seem angry at humans for being successful or something.
I make no apologies for being successful.
