While this is very true and we should absolutely consider the emotional cost others bear from our actions. I wonder how much we should really be valuing the emotional cost of industrial barons which is the modern farmer. Especially as we consider that other humans also have emotional attachments to wildlife. When we see a healthy ecosystem we are happy, and when we hear about a wolf that was killed we are sad.
On some level, this system tells you the wolf is more important to society than you.
I speak from absolutely no experience, imagining how I might feel.
