The thing that worries me, and the thing that I think no-one has mentioned (apologies if you have) is that when did we have the right to exterminate a whole species just because it makes our lives uncomfortable?

I'm well aware that malaria and other diseases carried by mosquitoes are a very large killer in parts of the world but why aren't we trying to cure these diseases rather than wipe out a whole species?

It just seems as if we, as a species, think we rule this planet so can do whatever we want with regard to the other species that exist on it.
