Also, for what it’s worth, even if negative utilitarians happened to dominate the wild animal welfare orgs (which apparently they don’t, see Abraham’s and Will’s answers), for cooperative and strategic reasons, I think advocacy for wiping out animals would probably be counterproductive. Trying to wipe out animals sneakily would also be high-risk (in case it’s found out), and we should support transparency/honesty as EAs.
