 Here is a list of animals that once lived in the Untide States now extinct.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._United_States 
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?
