We cause lots of things to go extinct. Doesn't seem any worse.
Maybe this isn't a big issue? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction
Countless species have already gone extinct over the eons. Why not one more?
You seem unaware of extinction events. Humans are not guaranteed descendent species.
You are aware, I hope, that extinction wasn't invented by humanity?
A lot of species would collapse with humans.
Species become extinct all the time. Humans don't have to exterminate all life, to exterminate humans.
It isn't that WE are becoming extinct. The mass extinction is of other species due to us.
No not advocating for extinction, just an observation we humans are really good at killing whole species.
I'd pretty much count extinction as damage to humanity.
