We are biological creatures, and part of the biome.

All of the artificial things we've created do nothing to sustain our existence, only to facilitate our connection with the biome.

If, in the process of facilitating this connection, we eliminate the biome's ability to sustain itself, most of us will be dead very quickly.

That's one of the reasons people care so much.

Another reason, if you suspend your human-centric worldview, is seeing other creatures as our relatives on the biological tree of live, admitting their ability to have feelings and desires and suffering, and caring for their plight and happiness alongside ours.

We don't have to kill the biome to sustain ourselves. In fact, the opposite is true.
