Because we (humans) just had to exploit every habitat everywhere for our own profit, regardless. The sad part is, there is no answer. You can't tell an African desperate to feed his family that it is wrong to make $1 joining a group that hunts a rhino so that it's horn can be marketed as an aphrodisiac. There is no answer. Most big creatures WILL die out in our or the next generation's time. And so, Philip K Dick's question "do androids dream of electric sheep" will become a real question.
