But if they fill in the place in the food chain, that also means they need to be snacking on us.
And I'm not just saying that to be a smart-ass. If humans were a different species, we'd call them horrendously invasive, awful for local ecosystems and that it's really important that their numbers are kept in check, or whatever other euphemisms there are.
