No, we need to save plants and animals to save the biodiversity of this planet and protect the food-web.
A stable ecosystems and diverse flora and fauna are in our own best interest
When you kill off species there ARE other effects that happen. For instance, losing some bird species relieves some of the pressure from some insect species like beetles that feed off of different trees, and insects that can transmit diseases to other animals, like humans.
Life is like Jenga. Some pieces can be pulled and everything looks all right on the surface, because there can be some other pieces that can shoulder an additional load. But keep playing the game and eventually you crash.
People as a whole are tremendously short sighted. That fact that you don't care for every "friggin plant and animal", that you haven't even considered what affect any one animal can have on the whole system, shows that you suffer from a very common disease.
