Here is a list of animals that once lived in the Untide States now extinct.

Its a long list, and not always the fault of people. Nature is harsh, animals adapt to changing conditions or they go extinct. I don't get your point. When a polar bear kills a baby seal would you say the bears attitude is casual? If a person kills a baby seal some think that is morally wrong, but then they eat veal at their save the baby seals luncheon. What would you call that?
