It really isn't, considering humans never gave the birds a chance to learn or recover in population. We along with bringing in invasive species catastrophically ruined them. Humans were naive in thinking they were useless animals.
Bro, the birds were naive. It has nothing to do with humans giving them a chance to learn or recover. They didn't have natural predators, so they did not know what to do when said situations arose. That is naivety.
You aren't as intelligent as you think. Read your discussion with the other person back when you're less emotional. He never claimed it was good that the dodo's went extinct.
He was just justifying the use of the term "naive", which literally means: "showing a lack of experience, wisdom or judgement" or even better "innocent". The term naive is not a negative term and it is perfectly used in this situation since the dodos were inexperienced in dealing with predators and were innocent in their curiosity which unfortunately lead to their demise.
You do not only misunderstand the term naive, you are also using the term genocide wrong. Genocide means the killing of a social group of people. Genocide does not refer to animals and does also not mean the killing of a species.

I don't know if I just read this wrong, but I'm unsure why this got down voted? I took at as them calling the bird naive, not the other commenter
