what is this world coming to

i found this article today about how human activities are having unintentional consequences on ocean life. man-made noise pollution are drowning out the ability of whales, dolphins, and other sea creatures who rely on sound to communicate with each other, thus, posing dire effects on their survival. it reminds me of another article about the surge of orphaned elephants and the destruction of their social order, also due to human activities, that has turned this normally benign animals into raging killers, in my mind, much like the african children who had been torn from their families and turned into killing machines. the fact that all these things that human beings have done, invented/created to ease our livelihood and survival in this world, have such severe consequences on other creatures, makes me want to cry in shame, guilt, and helplessness.
