What animal could you delete from existence with a mostly positive outcome for the planet? (aussie.zone)

And don't say humans, too obvious, too cynical.

I'd delete mosquitos.

The only negative effect I can think of would be fish won't have mosquito larvae to eat and their diet would have to shift.

Humans. Can you imagine how happy all of nature's spicies would be to get rid of this murderous polluting ravaging selfish disease of species called human? All animals to start to breath clean air, restore their trees and natural habitat, slowly recover their climate, and the fish thriving without plastic , toxic waste and oil pollution. It is the best animal to delete for positive outcome no other choice comes close.

Nature will never be happy. Nature will always be tearing itself apart. I vote "all animals" for deletion.
