Well there aren't, so I don't get your point.

 

Why do you think that wildlife has to be 'tolerated'?

 

I find your thoughts about nature quite scary.  If there was no wildlife how long do you think that humans would exist?

Suzie, we have been getting rid of wildlife for the last 8,000 years, ie since the beginning of agriculture and especially - farming.

Farming has enabled us to get the most valuable animals cooped up in fields, where they stay until we eat them.

By valuable animals, I mean principally cows,sheep, pigs and chickens.  I think these provide sufficient milk, cloth, meat and eggs for us.

We could exist for a very long time, sustained by these animals. They can be exploited and slaughtered at will, as their original wild instincts have been gratifyingly bred out of them,  to our advantage.  That's why you enjoy your eggs and bacon for breakfast. And beefburgers and porkchops for dinner.  And woolen clothing in the winter.

As for the "wild animals", such as wolves, bears, lions, tigers, etc, we are getting rid them thankfully.  Except for some specimens which we keep in zoos, to contemplate, in safety.

When you say "I find your thoughts about Nature quite scary",  I think you may be indulging in a modern luxury of thought.  For our ancestors,  it was Nature, in the form of wild beasts,  that was scary.
