You are dead wrong, the root causes are not "fragments" of problems. Taking care of the entire biosphere includes stewardship of all animals, plants, and fungi.
Desperate overpopulation threatens all edible life. It has depleted soil 75% and aquifers the same. Huge swathes of dead soil, ecosystems destroyed by human over-harvesting. Over-harvested and polluted/poisoned oceans, too, due to be totally depleted by 2035-50. AGW is killing more than realized and moving eco-systems north or up to impossible living for many species right now. Climate fluctuation is burning and flooding eco-systems now, and for more than a decade.
The big picture is overpopulation, and now even bigger is the threat of mass extinction from Thermal Maximum Fast Event (in geological terms).
AF, my primary concern has always been for the children of the future. However, all the species necessary for our survival in this interconnected biosphere, are important, too. Then there are those we don't really need but are beautiful creations of God's processes, also. So many we don't see or know about, like the nematodes, fungi, and worms in healthy soil. Beneficial bacteria and other organisms, all needed.
Asian meat animals like cat, rat, and dog, are disgusting traditions of an over-crowded long term overpopulated, collapsing area of overloaded Eco-systems. They eat bugs, scorpions, snakes, everything edible, legal or not.
I would never eat our sweet playful Shepard/Eskimo girl. I don't like dog or cat over-population (also human caused), destroying natural Eco-systems with predation on the native birds and small mammals. Balance.
Humans have unbalanced numerous aspects of all our collective eco-systems, the biosphere. They were supposed to keep everything in balance but through stupidity, over-breeding, and greed, have destroyed much of their own and other species needed habitats. Out of balance tragedy.........
