>>101773032>>101773219if we are part of natural selection, then no human behavior can be considered to go against natural selection, even protecting animals. domestic cats and dogs survive because they are cute, for example, and that's within natural selection
if we are not, then we still need to pay attention to the effects our actions have on the environment because we ultimately depend on the environment to live. if you destroy a forest just because you can then you are going to have to deal with problems like desertification. or you might extinct a species that would have been useful in the future, etc. etc.
