Blue whale. Krill are important for the oceans and divers can get trapped under the whales if they need to surface quickly due to an emergency. It also bothers me that a living animal is the biggest of all time when the dinosaurs should be bigger. It screams arrogance.

Normally I'd say no, but octopus is listed. I feel like that's the ringer here.

They lay like 30,000 eggs at a time with something like 95% fatality rate. You could potentially press the button like 27,000 for $200 a pop and have absolutely 0 effect on any of them.

And even if you do have an effect, it'd be one of the least impactful of the list outside the insects.

Don't get me wrong, Octopii(or whatever the plural is) are some of my favorite animals. But if I were to choose, that would be the one.

That's a great point, actually. They die regardless, and the freshly dead are still feeding the ecosystem.

Poor octopus. Intelligence on the level of at least a toddler, but with all the worst parts of a mass spawn life cycle.

Yeah. It's sad that they die off the way they do. Actually, I just remembered that the parents both die after breeding anyway. So it's even less impactful than I initially thought. Only very small % of the button presses would kill any that weren't about to die anyway.

If its a painless death for those poor souls who cant find a home I think that would be okay. cats are my fav animal but so many of them have to suffer due to over population ):
But domestic makes me think of pets specifically. I wouldnt say wild strays are domesticated?

Unfortunately even domesticated cats who are peoples active pets are a menace. WAY too many people let their cats outside.

If you have a cat the responsible thing is to have it be an indoor cat its whole life. Also make damn sure it's spayed/neutered.

It's not really known what kind of effect it would have. There's a debate in the science community if some other animal could fill the role of the mosquito. There's nothing that eats exclusively mosquitoes so it's not the same thing as extincting eucalyptus or bamboo. The closest it gets are dragonflies who eat like 90% mosquito larvae.

Malaria would be fucked but nobody cares about non-animal eukaryotes.

But what eats dragonflies? What eats mosquitoes? What eats the things that eats those insects?

Vs what eats gorillas and what do gorillas eat?

The food chain is most vulnerable on the bottom rung and I have to assume it's going to have a bigger impact than eliminating elephants, even if we don't quite understand the impact outright.

Anyways can we automate the button? Cuz mosquitoes are gonna lay vastly more eggs a second then the fastest button mashing human can and it would take forever to make more then pocket change money and at that point you have injured your hands pressing so much so fast.

I'd setup some automated button masher to try to drive mosquitoes extinct.

If not/afterwards I'd wipe out a few hundred chickens each day. 99.99% of them are getting killed for human benefit anyways, many are kept in horrible suffering and they breed enough for those deaths to be utterly irrelevant on an economic/population scale. An instant death is a mercy in many cases.

Most the others are evil, pointless(too low value per press and too important/Not much of pest) termites as much of an asshole as they are are ecologically important and they don't kill or harm people outside some edge cases so I can't justify wiping them out like I could mosquitoes or Bedbugs

Like Dogs have too much emotional value and practical value.

Whales are endangered. Elephants are too intelligent to kill without the utmost need.

Etc.
