This is making the assumption it’s bad for the environment, but, I imagine it is when sharks and other large mammals and sea creatures can grow for hundreds of years. Each ecosystem needs a very delicate balance to survive and when bald eagles are getting exterminated by chemicals that humans created, for example, it can’t be good for the environment.

When you kill off a predator, its prey makes too many babies. They make enough to replace themselves **plus** enough to feed the predator. When the predator doesn’t eat it’s share, there are too many prey animals. There isn’t enough food for that many, so they begin to starve to death. You have more starving animals, rather than the right number of healthy ones.
