You know what that is a great theological question. I think I will put that to some of the local clergy and get their opinions. I'm curious what the Catholic position on this would be.

But I can't imagine any theologian defending mass slaughter of an entire species of God's creation. The only factor that would drive a human being to that would be either hunger, as in prehistoric man who much like a modern day hunter would have only the slightest beneficial effects on most animal populations except ones that presented a clear and present danger to his existence.. or greed in the modern day.

That would be great if you asked your local clergy.

Most damage, including extinction of species, occurs due to indifference. The theologian doesn't have to climb the soap box to defend mass murder of a species, he just have to be indifferent to anything but the tenets of dominion that his faith entails.
