@TheBreadmonkey Not a joke but whales also help fight carbon emissions; their poop helps feed a plankton that absorbs carbon and when they die, a significant amount of carbon that they had absorbed through out their lives sinks to bottom as whale fall. Wolves also encourage tree growth by keeping deer populations down that would otherwise eat saplings. These saplings grow and stabilise river banks, leading to less flooding. By screwing over these species, we inadvertently screw ourselves over
